Instead of deep-frying chunks of chicken, this streamlined take on an American Chinese restaurant favorite opts for stir-frying it. Sweetness comes from pineapple chunks and juice, plus a touch of brown sugar, while rice wine vinegar delivers that pleasing sour punch.

Categories     main-dish

Total Time 40 minutes

Prep Time 20 minutes

Cook Time 20 minutes

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons ketchup
2 tablespoons orange marmalade or apricot preserves
2 teaspoons low-sodium soy sauce
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
One 1-inch piece ginger, peeled and finely grated
Large pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)
2 bell peppers (1 red, 1 yellow), quartered lengthwise and seeded  
1 bunch scallions, cut into 3-inch pieces
3 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
8 skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs (3 to 3 3/4 pounds)
Cooked white rice, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Make the sweet-and-sour sauce: Whisk the ketchup, marmalade, soy sauce, vinegar, ginger and cayenne in a small bowl. Put the bell peppers and scallions on a rimmed baking sheet and toss with 2 tablespoons of the prepared sauce, 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil and a pinch of salt. 
  • Heat the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Working in batches, add the chicken to the skillet skin-side down and cook, undisturbed, until the skin is golden and slightly crisp, about 4 minutes. Place skin-side up on the baking sheet with the vegetables. 
  • Brush the chicken with half of the remaining sweet-and-sour sauce. Bake until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 165 degrees F, 20 to 25 minutes. Divide the chicken and vegetables among plates. Serve with rice and the remaining sauce.

SLOW-COOKER SWEET-AND-SOUR CHICKEN RECIPE: HOW TO MAKE IT
I use my slow-cooker to fix this stir-fry like supper. Adding the onions, pineapple and snow peas later in the process keeps them from becoming over-cooked. —Dorothy Hess, Hartwell, Georgia
