SWEET AND SOUR CHICKEN



Sweet and Sour Chicken image

Make your favorite takeaway Chinese at home with this sweet and sour chicken recipe. It's the perfect, easy weeknight main dish.

Provided by Jaden Hair

Categories     Dinner     1-Pot     Restaurant Favorite     Stir-fry     Chicken     Chicken Breast     Chicken Thigh     Chinese     Pineapple

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pound of boneless and skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into 1" chunks
1 egg white
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (1/4 teaspoon table salt)
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 (10 ounce) can pineapple chunks (reserve juice)
1/4 cup juice from the canned pineapple
1/4 cup white vinegar
1/4 cup ketchup
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (1/4 teaspoon table salt)
2-3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon cooking oil
1 red bell pepper, cut into 1 inch chunks
1 yellow bell pepper, cut into 1 inch chunks
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger

Steps:

  • Coat the chicken with egg white: In a bowl, combine the chicken with the egg white, salt and cornstarch. Stir to coat the chicken evenly. Let sit for 15 minutes at room temperature or up to overnight in the refrigerator.
  • Make the sweet and sour sauce: Whisk together the pineapple juice, vinegar, ketchup, salt, and brown sugar.
  • Stir-fry the chicken over high heat: Heat a large frying pan or wok over high heat until a bead of water instantly sizzles and evaporates. Pour in 1 tablespoon of cooking oil and swirl to coat. It's important that the pan is very hot. Add the chicken and spread the pieces out in one layer. Let the chicken fry, untouched for 1 minute, until the bottoms are browned. Flip and fry the other side for 1 minute. The chicken should still be pinkish in the middle. Dish out the chicken onto a clean plate, leaving as much oil in the pan as possible.
  • Stir-fry the bell pepper and ginger: Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 teaspoon of cooking oil. Let the oil heat up before adding the bell pepper chunks and ginger. Fry for 1 minute.
  • Add the pineapple, sauce, and then, the chicken: Add the pineapple chunks and the sweet and sour sauce. Turn up the heat to high. When the sauce is simmering, add the chicken pieces back in. Let simmer for 1 to 2 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through. Timing depends on how thick you've cut your chicken. The best way to tell if the chicken is done is to take a piece out and cut into it. If it's pink, add another minute to the cooking.
  • Adjust the seasoning and serve: Taste the sauce and add more brown sugar or vinegar to suit your tastes, if you'd like. Serve hot with steamed white or brown rice.

SWEET AND SOUR CHICKEN

BEST EVER SWEET & SOUR CHICKEN



Best Ever Sweet & Sour Chicken image

I tried some recipes for making sweet & sour sauce for chicken balls, while they were pretty good I quickly realized with a few tweaks and additions it could make the ultimate sweet & sour!! So I made some up, fried some chicken and then threw the chicken in the sauce.... WOW!!! What a great taste!! I would like to thank lorac for the inspiration on the sauce, http://www.recipezaar.com/26230

  • When you're finished cooking your chicken cut it up and toss it in the sauce which should now be almost ready. Cook it in the sauce for 4-7 minutes.

SWEET AND SOUR CHICKEN



Sweet and sour chicken image

Get the best version of sweet and sour chicken with our ultimate recipe. You'll be rewarded with crisp, battered chicken in a sharp, sweet and fruity sauce

Provided by Barney Desmazery

Categories     Dinner, Main course, Supper

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 24

8 skinless, boneless chicken thighs , fat trimmed, sliced
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp Shaohsing rice wine or dry sherry
thumb-sized piece ginger , peeled and finely grated
3 garlic cloves , finely grated
1 egg , beaten
100g cornflour
½ tsp Chinese five-spice powder
sunflower oil , for deep-frying
boiled rice , to serve
5 tbsp Shaohsing rice wine or dry sherry
150ml malt vinegar
60g caster sugar
2 garlic cloves , crushed
2 tbsp tomato ketchup
2 tbsp soy sauce
½ chicken stock pot or stock cube
1 red pepper , deseeded and roughly chopped
1 red onion , roughly chopped
½ small pineapple , chopped into chunks
large piece ginger , peeled and very thinly sliced
small handful of coriander sprigs
4 spring onions , shredded
1 tsp Sichuan peppercorns (optional)

Steps:

  • Mix the chicken with the soy sauce, rice wine, ginger, garlic and a pinch of salt in a large bowl. Put in the fridge and leave to marinate for at least 1 hr or ideally overnight. Meanwhile, make the sauce. Tip the rice wine, vinegar and sugar into a saucepan with a pinch of salt and bring to the boil. Stir until the sugar has dissolved, then add the garlic and ketchup. Continue to cook for 10 mins until syrupy, then remove from the heat and set aside. To prepare the toppings, put the coriander and spring onion in a bowl of iced water to perk them up. Toast the peppercorns in a dry frying pan, if using, then crush using a pestle and mortar. Mix with 1 tbsp sea salt and set aside.
  • Mix the beaten egg into the chicken mix, then stir in the cornflour and five-spice powder until the chicken is coated. Set aside. Pour the oil into a wok until it's no more than a third full and heat to 170C, or heat a deep-fat fryer to the same temperature. If you don't have a thermometer, drop a bit of the batter into the oil; when the batter sizzles and turns golden within 1 min, it's ready. Fry the chicken in batches for 4-5 mins until golden and crisp, then drain on kitchen paper and keep warm in a low oven.
  • Meanwhile, gently reheat the sauce and add the soy sauce, stock pot or cube, vegetables, pineapple and ginger. Simmer for 3 mins until the veg is slightly softened. Mix the chicken with the sauce and serve with the coriander and spring onions, salt and pepper mix and some rice on the side.
