Chicken Waikiki Beach

[Dee]

1 whole frying chicken cut into serving pieces

1/2 cup flour

1/3 cup vegetable oil

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

Sauce:

1 lb.4 oz. can sliced pineapple

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1/4 teaspoon ginger

1 cup sugar

2 tablespoons cornstarch

3/4 cup cider vinegar

1 chicken bouillon cube

1 large green pepper cut into rings

Wash chicken; pat dry. Coat chicken with flour. Heat oil in large skillet. Add chicken, a few pieces at a time and brown on all sides. Remove as browned to shallow baking pan. Arranging pieces skin side up. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Make sauce: Drain pineapple, pouring syrup into a 2-cup measure. Add water to make 1 1/4 cups pineapple liquid. Combine sugar, cornstarch, pineapple syrup, vinegar, soy sauce, ginger and bouillon; bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil 2 minutes. Pour over chicken. Bake for one hour, basting at 15 minute intervals. Add pineapple and green pepper during the last 1/2 hour of cooking time. Serve with fluffy white rice. Makes 4 servings.

I have also used the sauce (thickened with 1 more tablespoon cornstarch) to make Sweet and Sour Chicken with fried chicken bites or Sweet and Sour Pork with fried pork cubes or you can use it with leftover chicken or pork. Enjoy!!!
