I started to make pineapple chicken the other day and ended up with something very different. This dish has a good orange sweet flavor with a hint of pineapple and fills the house with a nice orange smell while cooking. I used crushed pineapple, but I think the tidbits below would be better.

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your stir-fry the best flavor. If possible, try to use organic or locally-sourced ingredients.
  • Cut your vegetables and chicken into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Use a hot wok or skillet: A hot wok or skillet will help to sear the chicken and vegetables, giving them a nice caramelized flavor.
  • Stir-fry in small batches: Don't overcrowd your wok or skillet. This will prevent the food from cooking evenly.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken should be cooked until it is just cooked through. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
  • Add the sauce at the end: Adding the sauce at the end of the cooking process will help to prevent it from burning.
