Cara's Sweet And Sour Crock Pot Chicken

My friend cara shared this family recipe with me - it's been a favorite on their table for years, and often requested. :) prep time includes chilling.

Steps

Trim the chicken of fat and gristle , then cut the breasts or thighs into thirds.

Sprinkle both sides of the chicken pieces with garlic salt.

Place into container and let stand in the fridge for an hour.

Preheat your crock pot on low.

Take the chicken from the fridge.

Put cornstarch and beaten eggs in separate shallow pans or dishes.

Dredge the chicken pieces in the corn starch , then the egg.

In a large skillet over medium temperature , heat the oil.

Slowly cook the dredged chicken pieces , frying to a golden brown on both sides , about 6 to 7 minutes per side.

Remove the chicken from the skillet and place in the crock pot.

In a saucepan over medium heat , combine the sugar , vinegar , chicken stock , salt , catsup , and soy sauce.

Simmer , stirring occasionally , until sugar has dissolved and ingredients have incorporated well.

Pour the sauce over the cooked chicken in the crock pot.

Cook on low for 4 hours , then serve with rice and enjoy !.
