Default Sweet and sour chicken Part 2

Took my second shot at sweet and sour chicken. I was
very happy with it! Nothing really special. Made the
sauce by itself, sauteed garlic and green onions and
then the chicken and finally added the rest of the
vegetables (pea pods, red bell pepper) for a few minutes,
and then added it all to the sauce (plus pineapple) for
a few minutes. Served over rice.

Oh! We did one thing different! Added about a quarter
cup of Kikkoman Thai Style Chili Sauce to the sauce.
It made it just a little spicy hot without dominating
the flavor. Highly recommended! WAHOOO!!

I have a question, though. The daughter likes just the
sauce and chicken, no veggies. And she likes the
chicken with the super-thick but still light breading
that you can find at a restaurant. Could you tell me
how to do the super-thick breading? The only way I
know to do breading is to coat the meat with egg and
then dip in dry batter. No way that will get me the
thick coating she wants.

Thank you, Michael
