Sweet and Sour Chicken (Baked)

This is really yummy. It looks like it's fried, but it's baked. It's quite sweet, I think it could use less sugar. I made too much sauce, but was able to freeze it and use it again and it turned out perfectly!

4 chicken breasts
1-2 eggs, beaten
Cornstarch
Oil
1 1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. ketchup
1 c. white vinegar
1 tbsp. soy sauce
1 clove garlic, crushed (or minced from a jar)

Cut chicken into strips or pieces. Dip in egg, roll in cornstarch. Heat oil in skillet and brown chicken in hot oil. The more you brown it (don't burn it!) the crispier the chicken will be, after it's baked. Place in 9x13 dish. Combine other ingredients and pour over chicken.  Bake, uncovered, at 400 for 30 minutes, or until chicken looks crispy enough for your liking. Serve over rice.
