Time 1h30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup buttermilk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
3 -4 lbs chicken pieces (we use boneless chicken tenders & boneless thighs)
1 cup peanut oil
1 (20 ounce) can pineapple chunks in juice
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1 tablespoon reduced sodium soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1 medium green bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
cooked rice (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 13 x 9-inch baking pan.
  • Pour buttermilk into a shallow bowl. Combine flour, salt and pepper in a separate shallow bowl.
  • Dip chicken in buttermilk and dredge in flour mixture.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned; transfer to baking pan.
  • Drain pineapple, reserving juice. Add enough water to equal 1½ cups liquid.
  • Combine sugar and cornstarch in a medium saucepan. Add pineapple liquid, vinegar, soy sauce and ginger.
  • Stir until cornstarch is completely dissolved. Bring to a boil and cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Pour over chicken.
  • Bake, uncovered, 30 minutes. Add pineapple and green pepper strips. Bake 15 minutes longer, or until chicken is tender and no longer pink in the center.
  • Serve over rice, if using.
