Baked Sweet and Sour Chicken

Once the chicken was fried (however you do it), the rest of the recipe was easy.  Mix together the sauce ingredients, pour into the pan with the chicken and bake. I liked this recipe.  The sauce was a good blend of sweet and sour but wasn't thick or goopy like some sauces are.  Pair with brown rice and you're good to go.
