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

Time 35m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup vinegar
1/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup pineapple juice
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon flour
3 tablespoons oil
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon cayenne powder (optional)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons green peppers, diced
2 -3 chicken breasts

Steps:

  • Add the oil, sugar, and vinegar to a small saucepan set on 1/4 full heat stirring until sugar dissolves in vinegar, then add the pineapple juice.
  • Add the paprika and other spices followed by the ketchup, then the water.
  • Turn up the heat a bit and stir frequently almost bringing to a boil for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add cornstarch and flour, use a whisk to make sure no clumps form. Toss in the green peppers.
  • Keep on low heat stirring occasionally, cook your chicken however you like it, I fry mine. If your sauce starts getting a bit to thick don't worry just add a small amount of water and stir.
  • 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.
  • Remove from heat and enjoy! For best results eat it all the day you make it.
