Sweet & Sour Chicken

Adapted from Finding Joy in My Kitchen
Ingredients:
3 lbs. chicken, cut into bite sized chunks
1 1/2 cups cornstarch
2 eggs + 1 tbsp. water
2 tbsp. olive oil
3 1/2 cups sugar, Splenda or Stevia
1 1/2 cups ketchup
3 cups cider vinegar
1/2 cup soy sauce
2 tbsp. minced garlic
2 red peppers
1 can (20 oz) pineapple chunks
Instructions:
If you're making as much as I did here, you'll want to use 2 pans to cook your chicken if you're able to.
It will go much faster.
Heat 1 tbsp. per pan.
Set up a bowl with the egg and water.
Set up another bowl with your cornstarch.
Dip the chicken into the egg, then the cornstarch.
Then drop it into the pan.
I made my daughter bread all the chicken first and then I cooked it.
Better her young fingers get messy than mine.
As the chicken browns, put it into a 12 x 15 in. baking pan.
If you aren't privileged enough to have one of these big pans, you can use 2 - 9 x 13 in. pans.
You're not cooking the chicken entirely, you're just trying to get a nice crust on it.
Combine the sugar (splenda), ketchup, vinegar, soy sauce and minced garlic into a big bowl.
I know this seems like a lot of sauce but you have a lot of chicken to coat plus you know you're going to want more sauce for the rice and veggies, right?
When chicken is done browning, pour sauce over the chicken.
Stir and stick it into the oven for 1 hour at 350.
Stir like every 15 minutes.
After about 30 minutes, add your peppers and pineapple.
At this point you'll be so overcome by the amazing smell that you will want to taste a piece of chicken.
Go ahead, it's okay, I know it's amazing.
