Baked Sweet and Sour Chicken from Six Sisters Stuff

My husband and I love Chinese take out, but we don’t love all the calories that come with it.  This Baked Sweet and Sour Chicken tastes good enough to come from a restaurant but you don’t even have to leave the house to get it!

Nico--The whole family really liked this. I've made it twice but, it is so time consuming that it has to be a "special occasion" (I've got enough energy) type of dish.  Alena has a great story about this.  Their family also really loves it, but they made it one fast Sunday when everyone was really hungry and it's hard to wait that last hour while it bakes.  When they finally sat down to eat and Kyle took the first bite, he realized they had put one cup of salt instead of one cup of sugar in the sauce.  Apparently he just silently got up from the table, dumped his plate, and left the room.  Funny now, not funny then.
