The BEST Chinese Style Sweet n Sour Chicken Recipe: How To Make Sweet n Sour Chicken Sauce

okay guys city boy J here back with another video in a day I'm going to be showing you guys how to make Chinese style sweet and sour chicken here I have two medium-sized boneless chicken breasts okay and we're going to be chopping these up into medium sized cubes some of the chicken pieces can be long some of them can be squared but you want them to be shaped the way that chicken and sweet and sour chicken the shape okay and that's like squares like cubes like this size they're out that size they're like that so I'm going to chop the chicken up and I'll get back with you guys once I'm done to show you how they look okay guys so this is the way that you want your chicken to look nice square shaped cubes like this okay so we're going to sit this chicken the siphon down we're going to move on to the next step okay guys so you want to get a bowl into the bowl you're going to add about a cup of flour we're going to add about two teaspoons worth of salt to the flour we're going to add a little garlic powder and some black pepper you want to add some water we're going to whisk this in need a little more you want to be about this consistency right here like pancake mix I'm going to add about a teaspoon of soy sauce we want to add our chicken cubes and we're going to let these sit until we're ready to fry them and allow our chicken to marinate okay make sure that well code it and we're going to be coding these again with additional flour because we want the chicken to be nice and crispy when we add them to the sauce but we're going to make later on okay so we're going to set this aside now we're going to move on to the next step so here are the vegetables that we're going to be adding to our sweet and sour chicken we're going to be using a green and red bell pepper and onion now as I told you guys in my pepper steak video when you're making sweet and sour chicken there is a particular way that you want your vegetables to look you can cut them up any way you want to but if you want your vegetables to look the way vegetables and authentic sweet and sour chicken look you're going to cut them into big sides squares okay and this is the way you do that so we're not going to be using a big onion but we're going to peel the onions like this and remove this stuff here okay so we're going to cut the rings in half like this and you want to slice them into large thick squares like this that's the weight onions in your authentic sweet and sour chicken look okay guys so this is the way that our chopped onions look you're going to cut your green and red bell peppers the same way slice them down like that cut them into wide squares I'll shake like that we're going to be chopping up one slice of pineapple and we're going to be reserving this pineapple juice because we're going to need the pineapple juice to make our sweet and sour sauce okay I'm going to use all of the juice we're going to use some other so we're going to remove pineapple and a slice the pineapple is up into small pieces you don't really want them to be visible okay we don't use that many pineapples it depends some people use a lot of pineapples I don't we're going to get our wok and we're going to sauteed them now okay guys so here is our wok what you're going to do is place your white over a high heat we're going to be sauteing our vegetables for about one minute we don't want to cook them too long because we don't want them to get really tender and soft just want to cook them enough to remove the rawness number one add them now I'm going to cook them for one minute okay so that's pretty much it we're going to turn the fire off because we want our vegetables to keep their crunchiness just don't want them to be raw okay so we want to sit these vegetables aside now into a separate bowl you're going to add just a little flour not too much and we're going to be frying our chicken a little at a time we're going to coat them again so double coat okay that's about half on we'll just coat them this flour okay so I'm going to look like that will coat it in flour like that okay going to place your wire over high heat this time about medium-high and we're going to be frying our chicken and a lot of boy won't let that get hot for about two minutes okay so the key to properly frying food no matter what you're frying is to make sure that the oil is hot and it is so we're going to add our Q's a chicken now spread them out oh and by the way usually take these about seven to eight minutes pretty much done so we're going to remove them now and add our second batch we're going to add our second batch we might end up making three batches because as I said you cannot cook that many at once okay guys I just wanted to show you how they look okay as you can see they're very crispy on the outside but look how tender they are on the inside bite one rub your tender and juicy on the inside okay okay guys so we're going to do first is we're going to create a slurry this is what's going to thicken our sweetness our sauce there I have 1/3 cups of water the two that I'm going to add 1 tablespoon of cornstarch I want to stir this in until it's nice and smooth that's the way you want to look nice and smooth as you can see there's no lumps oh here we have a pop the first we're never going to add to the pot is 1 teaspoon of salt next we're going to add our brown sugar we're going to add our apple cider vinegar our pineapple juice and our ketchup we're going to cut our fire on low heat and we're going to stir this in really well okay and once this come to a boil you you're gonna add these slurry which is a thickening agent then you're going to continue stirring it and we want to cut the fire off now and that is our sweet and sour sauce continue to coat this that's it's on us left now we want to add our vegetables but that's your sweet-and-sour chicken look at well - first white rice white rice good you hope you guys enjoy sweet-and-sour chicken
