Best 6 Pollo Agridulce Sweet And Spicy Chicken Recipes

BAKED SWEET & SPICY CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees and grease a large baking sheet (with a raised side) or casserole dish.
• In a medium sauce pan whisk together all sauce ingredients. Bring to a boil over medium heat and boil for 3-4 minutes. While sauce is boiling, season chicken with salt and pepper on both sides, grease a skillet and cook chicken on both sides 1-2 minutes over medium heat, just enough to brown the very outside.
• Arrange chicken in a single layer (not overlapping) on prepared baking sheet. Brush with sauce. (there should still be plenty of sauce leftover - reserve for later). Bake for 20-25 minutes until chicken is cooked through. Pour remaining sauce over the chicken and serve hot.

MY SWEET AND SOUR CHICKEN (POLLO AL AGRIDULCE)

Steps:

• 1. Cut chicken breasts in strips then cut strips in half. Put into a bowl and pour soy sauce over chicken mix well so all the chicken gets coated with soy sauce. Next coat chicken with the corn starch you may need a little more then half a cup. Set aside
• 2. Next heat up a wok or a large skillet, make sure it is very hot. add about 1/4 cup oil and begin to fry your chicken pieces in batches. Fry until they are golden on all sides. Do all of your chicken like this. Remove to a seperate pan platter
• 3. In your wok or fry pan add a little oil and begin stir frying your veggies, first the carrots,then remove, add a little oil then the peppers, then remove, add a little more oil then the onions, then remove. add a little more oil and stir fry the snow peas and baby corn. Making sure to fry each veggie about two minutes each excet the carrots. I stir fry them a total of 3 minutes. You want your veggies crispy fried not limp. Each time removing to a seperate pan with the other veggies; until you have all the vegetables stir fried and all in a pan together. Next add a little more oil and fry your garlic until fragarant and add your pinapple and lightly stir fry about one minute, now put all the vegetables back into the wok together or fry pan and give a little stir fry again mixing all the vegetables together. At this time I add a sprinkle of garlic powder because we love garlic and just a little salt. Fry one about one minute more. remove all the vegetables to a seperate pan.
• 4. Sweet & Sour sauce, in a sauce pan or your wok pour the reserved pinapple juice and mandarin juice, add the sugar, vinegar, lemon juice and four dashes of red food coloring with a wisk mix everything until the sugar has melted. Mix your corn starch with the 1/4 cup cold water and make a slurry, por into the pinapple juice and wisk until nice and thick. I like to add a little soy sauce to this sweet and sour sauce but that is optional.
• 5. Now mix your fried chicken pieces with the vegetables and pour the sweet and sour sauce over everything mix well season with a little salt and serve with white rice. Enjoy.
