Steps:
- Combine chicken and soy sauce in a glass or ceramic bowl and let marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
- Remove chicken from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
- Heat oil in a large wok to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- While the oil is heating, whisk flour, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, and black pepper together in a shallow dish. Dredge chicken in flour mixture.
- Fry chicken in batches in the hot oil until golden brown and crispy and no longer pink in the centers, 5 to 8 minutes per batch. Remove to a plate.
- Discard any oil remaining in the wok. Return the wok to medium-high heat and add sugar, 1/2 cup water, and vinegar. Heat through, stirring frequently until sugar dissolves. Add onion and continue cooking for 1 minute.
- Meanwhile, mix remaining cornstarch into remaining 1/2 cup water and stir until completely mixed. Add to vinegar mixture in the pan along with pineapples and bell pepper chunks. Continue cooking until sauce thickens and bell peppers are just cooked, about 3 minutes. Add chicken and toss to coat.

SHEET PAN SWEET AND SOUR CHICKEN
Inspired by the flavors of our favorite Asian takeout, here's a recipe that uses canned pineapple tidbits, with the usual veggies. In order to make it sheet-pan friendly, the chicken is not breaded or fried. Add as much of the delicious sauce as you like, and if there is any left, store the sauce in the fridge in a sealed container, up to one week. It's also a great dipping sauce for Asian-style appetizers. Serve over hot steamed rice.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- Drain pineapple tidbits and place juice into a 1-cup liquid measure. Place drained pineapple in a large mixing bowl; set aside.
- Add bell peppers, carrot, and onion to the pineapple tidbits. Pour 2 tablespoons avocado oil over top and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Stir until coated with oil and seasoning, then spread in a single layer on a sheet pan. Place chicken into the same bowl, drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon oil, and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat and nestle chicken pieces on the sheet pan between the pineapple and vegetable pieces.
- Bake in the preheated oven until vegetables are tender and chicken is cooked through, about 25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, add enough water to the reserved pineapple juice to make 1 cup liquid. Transfer 3 tablespoons of the liquid to a small bowl and add cornstarch. Stir with a fork or whisk until smooth.
- Pour remaining liquid into a saucepan with brown sugar, rice vinegar, ketchup, soy sauce, chile-garlic sauce, ginger-garlic paste, and white pepper. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally, over medium-high heat. Slowly add cornstarch mixture, whisking briskly. Return to a boil and allow to thicken, whisking constantly, about 1 minute.
- Drizzle chicken, pineapple, and vegetables with sauce to serve.

Steps:
- Cut up chicken breasts, however many you'd like in there (about 1 pound is good), and saute in large deep skillet with oil til done. About 10 minutes depending on how you cut them.
- Remove to a bowl and cover to keep warm and moist.
- Drain and wipe out skillet with a paper towel.
- Mix brown sugar and cornstarch in skillet. Stir in pineapple (with syrup), vinegar and soy sauce.
- Over medium heat, heat til boiling and thickened stirring constantly. You'll know when the sauce is done because it will turn dark and clearish and thicken quickly.
- Reduce heat.
- Add chicken and water chestnuts (drained), cover and simmer over low heat about 10 minutes, stirring ocaisionally.
- Stir in pea pods and baby corns and continue to cook 5 minutes longer, uncovered, stirring ocaisionally and gently.
- *If you'd like, you can add a small can of mandarin oranges (DRAINED) to this at this point. But just fold them in and serve immediately. I like them in there, but they do tend to water down the sauce a bit, so be careful if adding them. BARELY fold them in and serve right away.
- Serve all over cooked rice.
