Fremgangsmåte

Marinate your chicken breast chunks with sesame oil, salt, white pepper, and garlic powder for at least 15 minutes.

While the chicken marinates, cut your onions into thick wedges and do the same with your green and red bell peppers.

In a bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and water, mixing until smooth. Add your chicken and toss until well coated.

Heat your oil to 375°F (190°C) and fry the chicken for about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the edges are lightly golden. Remove and set aside.

Add oil to a pan and add your onions and peppers, cooking until slightly softened.

Add water, vinegar, ketchup, sugar, pineapple juice, and salt. Bring to a simmer, then stir in your cornstarch slurry and cook until thickened.

Add canned pineapple and mix once more, then toss in your fried chicken and stir until everything is coated in the sauce.

Serve over a fresh bowl of rice or enjoy it as is.
