Candied Chicken- Lisa Gurman

Ingredients:
3/4 C sugar
1/3 C distilled white vinegar
1/4 C ketchup
1/4 C water
1 T soy sauce
6 chicken breasts- cut into small bite size pieces
2 eggs, beaten
1 pinch garlic powder
1 small bowl of corn starch. 
1/4 C olive oil

Dip chicken pieces in beaten egg with pinch of garlic powder, then in the cornstarch bowl.  Fry in oil until lightly browned.  Combine sugar, vinegar, ketchup, water, and soy sauce over chicken.  Mix until coated and place in a 9x13 glass dish, bake at 350 for 1 hour.  Turning chicken ever 15 minutes.  Serve over bed of rice.  

This is a fabulous recipe, and I'm just wondering if you put lemon juice in the ketchup mixture if it would taste like orange chicken?  I'll have to experiment with that and let you know...
