Fried Rice with Baked Sweet & Sour Chicken

In our house, fried rice is usually served with stir fried chicken or pork and a bottle of teriyaki or stir fry sauce - not tonight. Tonight, I made my own sauce from scratch and baked sweet & sour chicken with a simple batter coating. The results? Delicious!
