Sweet and sour chicken

Method

1. 1 Cut the chicken into cubes, then marinate with salt, pepper, and egg for 30 minutes.
2. 2 Coat the pan with cornstarch, then fry at 175 degrees for 4 minutes, and then fry again at 200 degrees for 60 seconds.
3. 3 Simmer vinegar with sugar, ketchup, and pineapple juice to make a sauce, then mix in cornstarch.
4. 4 Sauté the onions, bell peppers, and pineapple pieces for only 90 seconds to keep the vegetables crisp.
5. 5 Sweet and sour sauce should be clear and glossy; simmering it for too long will cause it to turn brown and cloudy.
6. 6 Mix the chicken into the sauce right before serving to keep the skin crispy and prevent it from becoming soggy.

With an appliance
