My mother in law made this chicken the very first time we ever met. It is so delicious that I just had to have the recipe. It is similar to sweet and sour chicken.

3/4 teaspoon soy sauce
1/4 cup plum preserves or 1/4 cup plum jam

Steps:

Mix the first 4 ingredients well. Add eggs and milk. Whisk together well to make batter. Dip chicken pieces in batter and deep fry. Drain on a pan lined with paper towels.
In a sauce pan, mix pineapple, sugar, water, vinegar and soy sauce. Bring to a boil. Mix corn starch and water together. Add to the sauce pan. Bring to a boil again. When thick, let cool for 15 minutes Add plum preserves and mix well.
Serve sauce over chicken or as dipping sauce.
