Hawaiian sweet and sour chicken

Ingredients for 4 servings:

• 2 chicken legs
• 2 chicken breasts
• 3 tbsp flour
• 1 large can of pineapple
• 2 tsp cornstarch
• ⅛ liter vinegar
• 100 g sugar
• 1 tsp soy sauce
• 1 pinch of ginger powder
• 2 tsp, heaped broth
• 2 bell peppers, red
• some water, maybe
• Oil for frying
• salt and pepper

Instructions

Working time approx. 35 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 1 hour; Total time approx. 1 hour 35 minutes

If necessary, clean the meat, then coat in flour and fry in oil. Season the fried chicken pieces with salt and pepper and place in an ovenproof dish. Drain the pineapple, reserving the liquid, filling it with water to 1/4 liter if necessary, and place it in a saucepan. Now remove about 2 tablespoons of this liquid and mix it with the cornstarch. Add the vinegar, sugar, soy sauce, ginger, and broth to the pineapple juice, bring to a boil, and thicken with the cornstarch. Season the sauce to taste, but don’t be surprised if it still tastes a bit strange; it’s best not to add any more sugar at this stage, otherwise it will be too sweet. Pour the sauce over the chicken pieces. Cook in a preheated oven at 200°C (convection oven) for about 30 minutes. During this time, wash and dice the bell peppers. After 30 minutes, add the bell peppers and pineapple to the chicken pieces and braise for another 30 minutes. Rice goes best with this sauce.
