Steps
- Cut chicken breasts into bite-size pieces.
- Season the chicken with salt, black pepper, all-purpose or mix seasoning, paprika, cajun garlic powder, and onion powder; mix together.
- In a container, mix flour, baking powder, and cornstarch.
- Add water to the dry mixture to create a thick batter.
- Dip the seasoned chicken into the batter and mix everything together.
- Set the chicken aside to marinate so the cornstarch can work its magic.
- Chop red, yellow, and green bell peppers.
- In a container, add sugar and ketchup for sweetness and texture.
- Add pineapple juice and vinegar for sourness, and dark soy sauce for color; mix together to create the sweet and sour sauce.
- Heat cooking oil in a pot over medium heat until hot.
- Fry the chicken pieces until they are really crispy and golden (no more than five minutes).
- Remove the fried chicken from the oil and drain excess oil.
- Remove the oil from the pot and add about one to two tablespoons of the same oil.
- Add garlic, onion, and bell peppers to the hot oil.
- Sauté for about 30 seconds to a minute.
- Add fresh pineapple slices to the pot.
- Pour in the sweet and sour sauce (made from sugar, ketchup, pineapple juice, vinegar, and dark soy sauce).
- Simmer for about one minute.
- Add the fried chicken back into the pot.
- Mix everything together until the chicken is well coated in the sweet and sour sauce.
