Ingredients
8 servings
- •2 large eggs, beaten
- •1 cup cornstarch
- •2 teaspoons garlic salt
- •8 (5 ounce) bone-in chicken thighs
- •1 tablespoon vegetable oil, or as needed
- •1 pinch onion salt, or to taste
- •1 pinch garlic salt, or to taste
- •ground black pepper to taste
- •1.5 cups white sugar
- •1 cup white vinegar
- •0.5 cup ketchup
- •2 tablespoons soy sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Prepare chicken: Place beaten eggs in a shallow bowl. Combine cornstarch and garlic salt in a second shallow bowl.
- Dip chicken in egg, then press in cornstarch mixture to coat.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken in hot oil until brown on all sides, sprinkling with onion salt, garlic salt, and pepper while frying, 3 to 5 minutes. Place browned chicken in a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
- Make sauce: Combine sugar, vinegar, ketchup, and soy sauce in a bowl. Pour sauce over chicken.
- Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 40 to 60 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center near the bone should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
