Sweet and sour chicken

This recipe is a lighter version of the usual sweet and sour chicken and also easier to make but absolutely delicious!
Orange chicken with pineapple chunks.
Note: you can add bell peppers if you like them too.
You can also add garlic & ginger, you just have to heat them in the skillet for about 20s before adding the pineapple and sauce. This time I made without them and it tasted nice regardless.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Cut the chicken tights in small bite sized pieces. In a small bowl mix the egg whites with salt and coat the chicken in the egg white mixture.
- 2
In a large bowl or deep plate, toss the marinated chicken in the cornstarch to coat it. Shake off any excess before frying.
- 3
Heat 3 cups of oil and add first batch of chicken and deep fry until lightly cold. The chicken will come back later to be fried twice so don't cook too much, just enough to be cooked through. It should take about 3 to 4 minutes.
- 4
Transfer the chicken to a plate lined with paper towels. Repeat with the rest of the chicken.
- 5
Heat the remaining 1 tbsp of oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. When hot (about 20 seconds) add thr pineapple and the sauce and stir to coat. Let the sauce simmer for about 2 to 3 minutes until the pineapple is tender.
- 6
Return the chicken to the pan and toss until well coated with the sauce.
- 7
Transfer to the plate, sprinkle sesame seeds or scallions on top (optional) for garnish and serve.

Sweet and Sour Chicken Sweet and Sour Chicken
Everyone who likes sweet and sour chicken should have their own recipe to make at home, and I mean "making the sauce yourself" level of at-home cooking. Because that bottled sweet and sour sauce? No thank you! I prefer to control the amounts of certain ingredients going into my dishes (like sugar and sodium).In actuality, a lot of your favorite "Chinese dishes" (you know, what you pile on your plate at the buffet or call to have delivered at 11pm lol) are a LOT simpler to make at home than you may realize.This is my version of the standard favorite.
