SWEET AND SOUR BAKED CHICKEN WINGS
If desired serve with rice or noodles, pouring sauce from chicken over each serving. You can also cut down on calories by not dredging the chicken but just browning it in a roast pan (using cooking spray) on top of the stove, then adding the remaining ingredients as directed and roasting in the oven. It's good either way!

SWEET-AND-SOUR BAKED CHICKEN

Steps:
- Add "Sweet and Sour Sauce" ingredients to a medium/large saucepan, stir and bring to a boil then reduce to a gentle simmer. Allow to simmer while you prepare the chicken and dice the vegetables, stirring occasionally (turn off if longer than 20 minutes). Note, the sauce will not thicken, simmering is to soften the onions and blend flavors. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and lightly grease a 9x13 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Whisk eggs together in a large bowl, set aside. Add ½ cup flour to a large freezer bag; set aside next to eggs. Whisk cornstarch, garlic powder, salt, pepper, ginger powder and onion powder in medium bowl; set aside next to flour. Add chicken to eggs and coat, then remove, allowing excess to drip off, then add to freezer bag with flour. Toss until evenly coated then discard any extra flour. Add cornstarch/spices to the chicken in the freezer bag and shake until evenly coated. Over high heat, heat enough oil (any kind) to generously cover the bottom of a large skillet until hot and rippling. Add chicken and cook 1-2 minutes per side, or until browned but not cooked through. (You may need to cook in 2 batches depending on size of your skillet). Transfer chicken to prepared 9x13 baking dish. Add carrots pineapple and peppers to the sweet and sauce and mix until well combined. Pour sauce over chicken and stir until sauce/chicken/vegetables are evenly combined. Cook, uncovered for 50 minutes or until sauce, stirring occasionally. Serve over rice. Enjoy!

- Make sure the chicken is evenly coated in the sauce: Use a pastry brush or your hands to evenly coat the chicken pieces in the sauce, ensuring that all sides are covered.
- Don't overcrowd the baking dish: Leave some space between the chicken pieces so that they cook evenly and get a nice golden brown crust.
- Bake the chicken until it is cooked through: The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C) as measured with a meat thermometer.
- Serve the chicken immediately: Serve the chicken hot with your favorite sides, such as rice, noodles, or vegetables.
