Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a 9x13 baking dish, with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Cut the chicken breasts into bite pieces measuring about 1 inch.
In a ziplock bag mix together cornstarch, sea salt and a pinch of pepper.
Add the chicken pieces to the bag. Shake it vigorously so that they are evenly coated with the cornstarch mixture.
In a bowl beat the eggs until they become smooth in texture.
Heat some oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. To check if it's hot enough you can flick a drop of water into the pan – it should sizzle when ready.
Dip each piece of chicken coated with cornstarch into the beaten eggs making sure that they are fully coated. Then place them gently onto the skillet.
Cook each side of the chicken until it turns brown. Once done transfer these seared chicken pieces to the baking dish.
In a bowl whisk together ketchup, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, sugar and garlic powder until you get a smooth and fragrant sauce.
Pour this sour sauce over the chicken pieces to ensure that they are thoroughly coated with it.
Bake the chicken for 1 hour. Remember to flip and stir halfway through cooking to even guarantee cooking and achieve an appetizing glaze.
