Sweet Hawaiian (NOT CROCKPOT) Chicken
- 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, trimmed if necessary and cut into chunks
- 1 12 cups cornstarch
- 34 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 -2 teaspoon powdered ginger (optional)
- 3 whole eggs, beaten with
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 cups pineapple juice
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 13 cup soy sauce
- 14 cup water
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- What you're going to is blend all the dry ingredients (a typical whisk does a great job!
- ), coat the chicken pieces (a manageable amount at a time), dip those coated pieces in the beaten eggs, then coat again in the dry mix, then drop into hot oil.
- Remember coat-dip-coat-fry.
- Give them a stir now and then to get them cooked evenly until nicely tanned but not burned.
- Keep this up until all the pieces are cooked, draining them on paper toweling.
- Once you've gotten through that, start on the sauce --
- In a saucepan pour the pineapple juice and get to boiling.
- To the boiling juice, add the packed cup of brown sugar and stir to dissolve.
- Bring back to boiling and boil steady for 10 minutes to reduce the water content a little bit.
- Measure out the soy sauce, add the 1/4 cup water and blend in the corn starch.
- After the 10 minutes, mix in the soy/water/corn starch and boil until thickened.
- Pour over fried chicken bits, toss a little to coat, and serve!
- I didn't take a picture of the rice because everyone knows what that looks like ;o).
- Perhaps some thinly sliced sweet peppers, pineapple tidbits, maybe some red onion would go good tossed in with this too.
