  1. Put to boil 5½ cups of ginger water.  Add all the seasonings; not the pineapples.  Gauge the stove on four until it comes to a boil, then put the stove gauged on very low flame.  Cover the pot slightly.  Allow to cook and stew for two hours.
  2. After that, turn the stove off then add the pineapples.

Note: (if you are using the pineapple from the can; please remember to drain the juice form it.)

The second step is for the Chicken pieces only:

Ingredients:
2 cups of Wheat Flower
1 pinch of Baking Powder
1 Onion (diced)
½ tablespoon of black pepper
½ table of Sea Salt
2 cups of coconut oil

Instructions:

  • Cut the chicken a part into one-inch square pieces.  First cut the thigh, breast, the leg and the wing a part.  Cut the chicken parts in half then half again until the pieces are at least ½ to ¾ inch in size.   Combine the onion, the teaspoon  of salt and the black pepper. Stir in. Next cover and allow to marinate for at least three minutes.
  • To the flour adds a pinch of baking powder.  Put in a covered container or a plastic bag to seal.  Next after the chicken pieces are marinated, use a fork to remove the seasonings from the chicken pieces, now put it in the flour.  Shake well.  (You are now flouring the chicken pieces.)
  1. Put to heat a big frying pot on the stove gauged on Hi (eight). After a minute add the oil.  Allow to get hot for three minutes.
  2. Now add the chicken pieces one piece at a time to the hot oil; put them not too close.
  3. Allow to fry on one side for four minutes, then flip it on the other side for three minutes.  Be sure the chicken pieces are fried properly.
  4. Then remove! Once every piece is fried.
  5. Put the fried chicken pieces in the cooked sweet and sour sauce.

Served with brown rice and boiled yellow yam.  These are servings for a family of six to eight persons.

You will only use two pounds of chicken or half of a chicken for this recipe. Put half the sweet & sour sauce into a sealed container or plastic and put in the freezer.  It can be used on deep-fried fish, pork or beef.  It can be used for gravy on French fried chicken later. Left over’s should be properly sealed the same day and kept in the refrigerator for no more than two days.  The chicken will not be so delicious after that.
