This recipe makes like WAY to much so I half it... though the egg really can't be halved.
Chicken Coating
2 1/4 Self Rising Flour (or 1 1/2 tsp baking powder and 1/2 tsp salt to all purpose flour)
2 TB vegetable oil
2 TB Cornstarch
1/2 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 egg
2 cups water
Mix dry ingredients. Add egg, mix water in slowly to make thick batter.
Cut up 4-6 chicken breasts. Coat chicken and then fry pieces. (I cut up two to three breasts and that makes ALOT)
Then for the sauce (Might have to double)
Apricot Sauce
1/2 cup apricot preserves
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon chicken broth or sherry
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1 medium green pepper, chopped (I leave these out too...kids don't like them)
1/2 cup salted cashews (I skip these...yuck)
