Pineapple Chicken

This Pineapple Chicken dish came to my mind after letting my thoughts go floating, as I was thinking of what chicken dish to cook for dinner last night. Bought a peeled pineapple in the morning with the intention of making Popsicle to quench my thirst on such hot weather off late.  As this is not a planned dish, with not many ingredients at hand, so I intend to cook a simple dish out of pineapple and chicken.  Let the cooking begins....

Ingredients: (Serves 2)
2 chicken thighs (clean and cut into 4 chunks for each thigh)
1 slice pineapple (cubed)
1/2 onion (peeled and cut into chunks)
Cornflour for coating chicken
Cooking oil (for deep frying)

Marinade:
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp sugar
1/2 egg
1 tsp curry powder (watch brand)
1/2 tbsp cornflour

Sauce: (mix all together into a bowl)
1 tbsp Thai chili sauce
1 tbsp tomato sauce
1 tbsp chili sauce
Dash of white vinegar
1/2 tbsp sugar (to taste)
Dash of salt (to taste)

Methods:
  1. Combine the marinade ingredients with the chicken and let it marinate for at least an hour.
  2. In a deep heated wok add enough cooking oil.  Coat the chicken pieces with cornflour and deep-fry until golden brown.  Dish, drain and put aside for later use.
  3. Discard oil from the wok leaving 1 tbsp, add the onions, pineapple and give it a quick stir-fry.
  4. Pour in the sauce and cook until almost thick.
  5. Add in the fried chicken pieces, stir well to combine and dish up.
  6. Dinner is served!
