Instructions:
Chicken:
Sprinkle chicken with salt. Place flour and cornstarch in a shallow dish. Whisk eggs in another shallow dish. Dip chicken pieces in egg mixture and then flour mixture. Place on a plate.
Heat 2 -3 inches of oil in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Using a thermometer, let it reach 350 degrees. Working in batches, cook several chicken pieces at a time. Cook for 3-4 minutes, turning often until golden brown. Place chicken on a paper-towel-lined plate. Repeat.
When done cooking remove all but a tablespoon of the oil. Add the bell peppers, onion and pineapple and cook for 1-2 minutes, until crisp-tender. Add 1 cup of homemade sweet and sour sauce and stir to coat the pieces and cook for 30 seconds. Add the chicken pieces back in and stir until the sauce has thickened.
Serve immediately, with optional garnishes of sesame seeds or green onions
