 Vegetable oil
3/4 cup water
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking powder
4 skinless, deboned chicken breasts, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
Quick-and-Easy Sweet-and-sour Sauce (see recipe below)

Quick-and-Easy Sweet-and-sour Sauce

2 tbsp. cornstarch
1 tsp. paprika
6 tbsp. cold water
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup white vinegar
1/2 tsp. salt

Heat oil (1 to 1 1/3"). Mix together, water, flour, salt and baking powder. Dip chicken into mixture, allowing excess to drip back into bowl. Place into hot oil and fry until done, turning once (about 2 to 3 minutes on each side). Drain on paper towels. Dip into sweet-and-sour sauce.

To make sauce: Dissolve cornstarch and paprika in cold water. In another bowl, combine sugar, water, vinegar and salt; heat for 5 minutes. Add the cornstarch mixture, and cook until sauce thickens and boils. Sauce freezes well.
