Notes

Smoky Sweet & Sour Chicken

Sticky, smoky, sweet and tangy chicken with that proper Smoke Craft depth. The combination of Smoke Craft Spice, Smoke Craft Under Fire Sauce and BlixSam Sweet & Sour Sauce gives you layers of flavour instead of an ordinary sweet-and-sour sauce.
Serves: 4
Prep: 15 minutes
Cook: 20 minutes

Ingredients

Chicken
  • 700 g boneless chicken thighs or chicken breast, cut into bite-size pieces
  • 2 tsp BlixSam Smoke Craft Spice
  • 2 tbsp cornflour
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • Black pepper to taste
Vegetables
  • 1 red pepper, chunky diced
  • 1 yellow pepper, chunky diced
  • 1 onion, chunky diced
  • 1 cup pineapple chunks
  • 2 spring onions, sliced
Smoky Sweet & Sour Sauce
  • ยฝ cup BlixSam Sweet & Sour Sauce
  • โ…“ cup Smoke Craft Under Fire Sauce
  • 2 tbsp pineapple juice
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp vinegar
  • 1 tsp honey, optional
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed

Method

  1. Toss the chicken with Smoke Craft Spice, black pepper and cornflour until lightly coated.
  2. Heat the oil in a large pan or wok. Fry the chicken over high heat until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  3. Add the peppers and onion to the same pan. Stir-fry for 3โ€“4 minutes so they’re slightly charred but still have some crunch.
  4. Add the pineapple and cook for another minute.
  5. Mix the Sweet & Sour Sauce, Smoke Craft Under Fire Sauce, pineapple juice, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic and honey.
  6. Pour the sauce into the hot pan and let it bubble for 1โ€“2 minutes until glossy and slightly thickened.
  7. Return the chicken and toss everything together until every piece is coated in that sticky smoky sauce.
  8. Finish with sliced spring onion and serve immediately.
๐Ÿ”ฅ BlixSam Tip: Let the chicken and vegetables get a little char before adding the sauce. Those caramelised edges work brilliantly with Smoke Craft and give the dish a proper smoky-sweet finish.
Serving suggestion: Serve over fluffy rice, egg-fried rice or noodles.
