BEST EVER SWEET & SOUR CHICKEN
I tried some recipes for making sweet & sour sauce for chicken balls, while they were pretty good I quickly realized with a few tweaks and additions it could make the ultimate sweet & sour!! So I made some up, fried some chicken and then threw the chicken in the sauce.... WOW!!! What a great taste!! I would like to thank lorac for the inspiration on the sauce, http://www.recipezaar.com/26230

Steps:
- 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.
- Add the paprika and other spices followed by the ketchup, then the water.
- Turn up the heat a bit and stir frequently almost bringing to a boil for 2-3 minutes.
- Add cornstarch and flour, use a whisk to make sure no clumps form. Toss in the green peppers.
- 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.
- 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.
- Remove from heat and enjoy! For best results eat it all the day you make it.
