Orange Chicken

I found this recipe on a blog (I can't remember which one) and it was really good

Orange Chicken

12 Chicken tenders
3 eggs
1/2 C cornstarch
1/2 C flour
sprinkle of garlic salt
oil
1/4 C chicken broth
1/2 C Vinegar
3/4 C Sugar
1TBSP Soy Sauce
4 TBSP Ketchup

Dip chicken in eggs then in cornstarch, flour, and garlic salt mixture. Then fry in oil. After chicken is fried place the chicken in a baking dish. Boil in a pan the broth, vinegar, soy sauce, and ketchup. Pour over the chicken in the baking dish and bake at 350 for 45minutes to 1 hour. Serve over rice.

(I used apple cider vinegar, but I think next time I will try white vinegar, I could taste the apple cider vinegar) The sauce didn't look like there was very much so I doubled it and I didn't need to there was plenty of sauce without doubling it. This will be a recipe we will have every now and again :)
