Hawaiian Sweet and Sour Chicken image

I've been making this for years - I even used to make it for the kids I babysat back in the 70's. It's not like Chinese sweet and sour - it's a brown sweet and sour sauce.

Time 1h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 lbs chicken, cubed
1 egg, for coating
2 tablespoons flour, for coating
1/2 teaspoon salt, for coating
1/8 teaspoon pepper, for coating
1/2 cup oil or 1/2 cup shortening, for frying
1 green pepper, boiled and cubed
1 bouillon cube dissolved in 1 cup hot water, for sauce
1 (20 ounce) can pineapple chunks in juice, for sauce
2 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch, for sauce
2 1/2 teaspoons soy sauce, for sauce
1/2 cup sugar, for sauce
1/3 cup vinegar, for sauce
white rice, cooked

Steps:

  • Whisk egg in small bowl. Mix flour, salt, and pepper in another small bowl.
  • Dip cubed chicken in egg, then in flour/salt/pepper mixture to coat - Put in pan with preheated oil and fry in batches.
  • While chicken is cooking cube the green pepper and boil till tender. Drain and set aside.
  • Once chicken is done, make sauce:.
  • In a medium saucepan put one cup of water and dissolve 1 bullion cube into it (or use 1 cup of chicken stock - either works). Add the juice from the can of pineapples, the soy sauce and the sugar. Mix the cornstarch into the vinegar before adding it to the sauce - it makes it easier to blend. Heat the sauce till thick and glossy. You will have to stir it often, especially when it starts to thicken.
  • Put the chicken, drained pineapples and peppers into a bowl - add the sauce and mix.
  • Serve over hot rice.
