CHINESE SWEET AND SOUR CHICKEN
So excited to share this Chinese Sweet and Sour Chicken recipe. Chinese Crispy Chicken is a lite and crispy fried chicken coated in sweet and sour sticky sauce. Recipe takes just 25 minutes start to finish. It comes together quicker than time to order a takeout and wait for the delivery. Pair with home cooked Jasmine rice for a delicious dinner at home. Gluten free.Oh, Pineapple shell is only used for the pictures. You don't need it for cooking the recipe.Let's get started with the recipe. Shall we?!Chinese Sweet and Sour ChickenWe have a big Asian community around us. Sweet sour chicken often makes to the community buffet/get togethers. There are so many variations of this recipe that I have tried. Everyone has signature sauce and their family's personal touch but one thing is common - crispy chicken and savory finger-licking sauce.With this recipe, I have tried to create the same crispy fried chicken with a sweet and sour sauce with very lite breading of corn starch. Sauce is flavored with pineapple juice. You can use canned pineapple juice. Or buy a fresh ripe pineapple and extract juice from it.Sweet and Sour SauceChinese/Indian Chicken recipes are more about sauce than protein. In my opinion, a perfect tasting sauce is the important step for getting any Asian recipe... actually any recipe, right. Don't you think?Likewise, the heart of best tasting sweet and sour chicken is in it's sauce. Sauce is very very simple. If you follow the recipe exactly, sauce will be ready in just 3 minutes.Ingredients to make Sweet and Sour sauce include tomato ketchup, Asian staple ginger and garlic, soy sauce, vinegar and honey. I was after pineapple flavor, so I also added pineapple juice. You can also use orange juice or apple juice based on flavor preference. Once all these ingredients marry together... a delicious bright, and shiny finger-licking sweet and sour sauce surfaces in the pan. See step pictures in the recipe card.Tip: Sweet and Sour sauce also goes great on tofu. In-fact, I even use it to brighten-up stir-fried veggies and rice.Once the sauce is ready, rest recipe is as simple as cooking chicken. Traditional sweet n' sour chicken has fried chicken. I wanted to share the traditional version today so went for fried. However, when not in mood to bread and fry chicken, I often sauté it in little oil and seasonings until it is crisp, caramelized and fully cooked. Next, mix in sauce.Cooking fried chicken is optional. If you are after that traditional crispy fried chicken coated in sweet and tangy sauce.. go ahead, fry the chicken. If you want to avoid frying and still want to enjoy homemade Chinese-takeout! Simply sauté the chicken. It tastes delicious either ways.Don't forget to serve rice on the side. To me, Chinese food does not feel complete without a serving of rice or noodles. You can opt for brown rice or whole grain noodles such as quinoa or buckwheat noodles.Pineapple Shell as Serving BowlI can't finish this post without saying few words about the humble pineapple severing platter. I saw this pineapple bowl last year in Delmar Fair. Vishal had shrimp and pineapple fried rice served in a pineapple bowl. It does look pretty. Thanks to Fair for the inspiration.Tip: Did you know pineapple shells freeze well? If you buy some pineapple, scoop out the flesh and save the shell to use later.I hope you will enjoy this bowl full of takeout favorite as much as we did. Try something different for dinner tonight! Bring home ingredients and make Sweet and Sour Chicken with pineapple and rice. Enjoy!

Steps:
- In a wide bowl, mix all of the Sweet and Sour Chicken Sauce ingredients. Whisk to combine well. Make sure honey/agave is fully mixed with other ingredients. Set aside. In a medium bowl, add eggs, and beat slightly. Add 2 tbsp of sweet and sour sauce in egg mixture, add a generous pinch or two of salt and black pepper. Mix well.
- Add cubed chicken pieces and coat well. On a large plate, or a paper bag add corn starch. Season with generous pinch or two of salt and black pepper. Add egg coated chicken and toss well to bread evenly.
- Start by heating oil for frying in a heavy bottom cast-iron pan. When oil is hot but not smoking, add battered chicken. Working in batches, shallow fry breaded chicken in oil until crispy from all sides and is fully cooked.
- I fried chicken in two batches, 5-6 minutes each batch. Remove fried chicken on a paper lined plate to drain excess oil.
- In a pan, add remaining of Sweet and Sour mix (saved in step 1). Bring the sauce to boil, then simmer for 1-2 minutes or until sauce get little thick.
- Add in cooked chicken and coat well in the sauce.
- Sweet and Sour Chicken is ready. Remove in a bowl. Serve over rice with garnish of fresh pineapple and rice. Enjoy!

I found the recipe for Sweet and Sour Pork in "What's Cooking Chinese" and altered it a bit to use chicken instead. It's very tasty and addicting, and makes an excellent family dinner.

Steps:
- Sift the flour into the mixing bowl, along with the cornstarch and baking powder to make the batter.
- Add the vegetable oil and stir in just barely enough water to make a smooth, thick batter, which will yield about 3/4 cup.
- Put the wok on the stove and pour roughly 2/3 cup of vegetable oil into it, then heat until almost smoking.
- After it is almost smoking, lower the heat slightly.
- Then dip the pieces of chicken into the batter and cover them in the batter.
- After they are covered in batter, cook them in the wok for 2-3 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
- It's acceptable to do the chicken in batches instead of all at once.
- Remove chicken from the wok with a slotted spoon and keep it warm, I'd recommend keeping it in the oven until it is needed.
- Drain all but roughly 1 tablespoon of oil from the wok.
- Add the bell pepper, pineapple pieces, onion, bamboo shoots, and carrot to the wok, and then stir-fry it for 1-2 minutes.
- Remove the vegetables from the wok with a slotted spoon and set them aside for now.
- Mix all the sauce ingredients together until they are combined, and then pour the sauce into the wok.
- Bring the wok to a boil and stir the sauce until it is thick and clear.
- Cook it for about 1 minute, then return the chicken and vegetables to the wok.
- Cook all of this for 1-2 more minutes, and then serve with rice or noodles.
