Instructions

Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Place cornstarch in a large zip-top bag, add chicken and shake to coat.
Dip the cornstarch-coated chicken pieces in beaten eggs.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken until golden but not cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a baking dish.
In a bowl, mix together sugar, apple cider vinegar, ketchup, soy sauce, and garlic powder.
Pour the sauce over the chicken in the baking dish. Bake in a preheated oven at 325°F for 1 hour, turning chicken every 20 minutes to coat with sauce.
