Crispy Fried Chicken with Sweet and Sour Sauce

Method

1. Mix flour, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Coat chicken thighs evenly.
2. Heat oil in a deep fryer or heavy skillet to 180°C (350°F). Fry chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
3. In a saucepan, combine vinegar, sugar, ketchup, cornstarch, and water. Bring to a boil, then simmer until thickened.
4. Serve chicken with sweet and sour sauce on the side.
5. Before serving, check that the thickest part of the poultry reaches 74°C (165°F) with a food thermometer.
