Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup vinegar
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp flour
  • 3 tbsp oil
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp cayenne powder (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Directions:

  1. Add the oil, sugar, and vinegar to a small saucepan set on 1/4 full heat stirring until sugar dissolves in vinegar, then add the pineapple juice.
  2. Add the paprika and other spices followed by the ketchup, then the water.
  3. Turn up the heat a bit and stir frequently almost bringing to a boil for 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add cornstarch and flour, use a whisk to make sure no clumps form. Toss in the green peppers.
  5. Keep on low heat stirring occasionally, cook your chicken however you like it, I fry mine. If your sauce starts getting a bit to thick don't worry just add a small amount of water and stir.
  6. When you're finished cooking your chicken cut it up and toss it in the sauce which should now be almost ready. Cook it in the sauce for 4-7 minutes.
  7. Remove from heat and enjoy! For best results eat it all the day you make it.
