Ingredients

• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic salt
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 10 chicken tenders
• 0.5 cup white sugar
• 0.25 cup chicken broth
• 0.5 cup cornstarch
• 0.25 cup ketchup
• 0.5 cup cider vinegar

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 2

Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Step 3

Place beaten egg in a shallow bowl. Place cornstarch and garlic salt into a large resealable plastic bag.

Step 4

Dip chicken in beaten egg, allowing excess to drip off. Drop chicken into cornstarch mixture, seal the bag, and shake until well coated.

Step 5

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken in hot oil, turning occasionally, until browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer chicken to a baking dish.

Step 6

Stir together vinegar, sugar, broth, ketchup, soy sauce, and salt in a medium bowl. Pour over chicken in the baking dish.
