Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (cut into 1-inch chunks)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 egg
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • peanut or canola oil (for frying)
  • Sauce-
  • 1 cup pineapple chunks
  • 1 cup pineapple juice
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon cold water
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce

Instructions

  1. In a bowl mix together soy sauce, sesame oil, pepper, and egg. Add the chicken chunks and mix until well combined. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Once the chicken has finished marinating, mix the flour and 3 tablespoons of cornstarch into the chicken mixture to create a thick batter.
  2. Heat oil in a deep-fryer to 375 degrees F. Add the chicken and cook in batches until browned and fully cooked (the internal temperature has reached 165 degrees F.). Remove chicken and place on a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
  3. In a medium saucepan combine pineapple chunks and pineapple juice. Bring to a boil and then stir in the brown sugar and soy sauce and simmer for 5 minutes.
  4. In a small bowl mix the 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of cold water. Pour into the sauce and stir until thick enough to coat a spoon. Pour the cooked chicken pieces into the saucepan and mix until thoroughly coated. Serve with rice.
