Add the egg, 1 tablespoon oil and water, whisking until smooth. (The consistency should be thick like pancake batter.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add the cubed chicken pieces to the batter and coat thoroughly. Let it marinate for 10 minutes at room temperature or up to one hour in the fridge (see note).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add one inch of oil to a medium saucepan or deep fryer and heat to 350\u02daF. Set aside a wire rack and slotted spoon or mesh strainer.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add the chicken to the hot oil in batches, frying for 3-4 minutes until golden and crispy. Remove to the rack with a slotted spoon and repeat for remaining chicken.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Place a skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the 1 tablespoon oil, onion and bell peppers and saut\u00e9 for 2-4 minutes until slightly softened.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add the pineapple to the pan followed by the sauce ingredients: garlic, sugar, vinegar, soy sauce and ketchup. Bring to a simmer and give it a taste test, adding sugar and vinegar to get the balance to your liking.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mix the cornstarch and water together in a cup. Then slowly stir it into the pan. Reduce heat slightly and simmer for 2-3 minutes or until the sauce is thick enough to coat the vegetables.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add the cooked chicken back to the pan and stir to coat evenly. Remove the skillet from heat (the sauce will thicken further and become sticky).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Garnish with optional sesame seeds and serve immediately.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ingredients Chicken Vegetables Sweet and Sour Sauce Instructions&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6424,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[247],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6423","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-kids-friendly"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/saad.appscodestudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Crispy-Sweet-and-Sour-Chicken.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/saad.appscodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6423","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/saad.appscodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/saad.appscodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/saad.appscodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/saad.appscodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6423"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/saad.appscodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6423\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6425,"href":"https:\/\/saad.appscodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6423\/revisions\/6425"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/saad.appscodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6424"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/saad.appscodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6423"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/saad.appscodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6423"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/saad.appscodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6423"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
