3. Catsup is nasty in sweet and sour. Add a squeeze of tomato paste if you must, but I don't need hamburger tasting chicken!

4. I did just a tablespoon of catsup and 2 tablespoons of sugar because it looked really sweet to me. Also, the recipe didn't say anything about adding the pineapple chunks, so I did that when I added the chicken and peppers to the sauce.

5. This recipe was wonderful. Easy to prepare and the flavors blended perfectly. I used a 14.5 oz of the pineapple tidbits instead of the chunks of pineapple and they were perfect. The tidbits beings smaller blended well in the sauce. I will make this recipe again. Next time I may add some onion with the bell pepper and maybe some sliced water chestnuts too.

1. I’ve made this recipe for many years without coating chicken and frying. I heat a tablespoon of oil, add chicken cut into chunks, drizzling with soy sauce as it cooks in a wok or large pan. I very lightly sauté peppers and onions (want to keep slightly crisp) in pan when chicken is almost finished cooking. I then make the sauce mixture as in this recipe using pineapple juice, add pineapple to warm, thicken and serve over rice. Serve with additional soy sauce at table optional.

3. Definitely Firehouse approved!! JBMDL Station 5. (Lakehurst,NJ) Used half rice wine vinegar and ACV with dark brown sugar. Instead of rice I used Udon noodles. Thanks

4. Very tasty, used a splash of v8 splash instead of sherry and apple cider vinegar ;)

5. This is pretty darn good. Here are my tweaks: 1 c. of oil. I feel it's enough to mimic deep-frying without having to replace my oil supply each week! I add 1-2 bell peppers (and I add onion & half-can of pineapple chunks) as soon as the sauce is mixed to cook the peppers a bit longer so they can soften. I find I sometimes need to add water b/c it gets very thick fast. Instead of 1/2 c. of sugar, I use 2 heaping tbsp of Splenda.The reason I only reviewed 4 stars is because the chicken coating falls off and clumps a bit in the frying stage, so it's not the prettiest dish - chicken, veggies, sauce and brown "dregs." I've made it twice and I'll make it again, though!
