Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, bruised
800 g skinless chicken thighs, halved
all-purpose flour, seasoned to taste
1 large onion, thinly sliced
250 ml red wine
1 bay leaf
3 sprigs rosemary
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon caster sugar
150 ml chicken stock
1 tablespoon currants
1/2 cup black olives
2 tablespoons pine nuts, roasted (I do this in a small dry pan over a low heat, shaking 'til golden)
1/4 cup flat leafed parsley

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a heavy-based heat-proof casserole, add the garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes or until golden, then discard the garlic.
  • Dust the chicken in seasoned flour and shake away the excess, then cook in the oil over medium heat until light golden all over-this will need to be done in a couple of batches.
  • Remove all from the pan.
  • Add the onion and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until almost soft.
  • Add the wine, bay leaf rosemary and vinegar and boil for 2 minutes.
  • Add the stock, then return the chicken to the pan and bring to the boil, then cover and simmer gently, turning once, for 15-20 minutes or until the chicken is tender.
  • Remove the chicken from the pan and keep warm.
  • Add the sugar, currants and olives to pan and simmer for 5 minutes or until the sauce is syrupy.
  • Return the chicken to the pan and stir in the parsley and pine nuts and serve immediately.

This was the best sweet and sour chicken I've ever had. The chicken was crispy and juicy, and the sauce was the perfect balance of sweet and sour.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

I'm not a huge fan of sweet and sour chicken, but this recipe was really good. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the sauce was flavorful without being too sweet.

This dish is a bit time-consuming to make, but it's worth it. The chicken is fall-off-the-bone tender and the sauce is divine.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken came out dry and tough. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This recipe was a little too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I'll try it again with less sugar next time.
