Chicken Nuggets & Sweet and Sour Sauce

Golden Nuggets

1 whole chicken breast (about 1 pound, I use boneless skinless)
vegetable oil
1/3 cup flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. vinegar
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/3 cup water

Cut chicken into pieces. Heat oil 2 to 3 inches deep in a deep fryer or dutch oven to 360 degrees. Mix flour and salt. Mix vinegar and baking soda. Stir vinegar mixture and water into flour mixture; beat until smooth. Dip chicken into batter, allowing excess batter to drip into bowl. Fry chick in hot oil, 4 to 5 pieces at a time, turning once, until golden brown and done, about 3 minutes. 4 servings.

Sweet and sour sauce

Heat 1/2 part chili sauce and 1/2 part grape jelly, mix (the recipe calls for 1/4 cup each, but I always make more. All you need to do is make sure each part is equal to the other). Heat over low until melted.
