Photo: Sweet and Sour Chicken Skewers Recipe
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 (20-ounce) can pineapple chunks, juice reserved
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch, mixed with 1 tablespoon water
- 1 red pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken boneless thighs about four thighs
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 8 bamboo skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
Directions
Put the vinegar, sugar, reserved pineapple juice and cornstarch slurry into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat and simmer until the sauce thickens, about 8 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside. Reserve half of the sauce in a small serving bowl to be used as a dipping sauce alongside the skewers.
Quarter the red pepper and remove the core and seeds. Slice each quarter into 6 pieces. Cut each chicken thigh into 6 pieces.
Preheat a grill pan or an outdoor grill to medium heat.
On each of the 8 skewers, place 1 chunk of pineapple, then a piece of chicken thigh, followed by a piece of red pepper. Repeat with another piece of pineapple then chicken, then red pepper. Season skewers with salt and pepper, to taste. Grill the skewers on oiled grill, cooking for 4 minutes on each side. Brush the sweet and sour sauce all over the skewers and grill and additional 2 minutes per side. Remove to a serving dish and serve with the reserved sweet and sour sauce, for dipping.

I have to admit I'm not usually a fan of Sandra, but saw all the reviews and decided to give it a try. I altered the skewers to include cherry tomatoes and poblano instead of red peppers (1/2 the $$. The sauce was a bit too vinegar-y to use as dipping sauce, but was relish on the kabobs. Served it with "hot and cold sesame noodles" also FN and it was a big hit! Will definitely make again!

I'm sorry, but this was disgusting!!! I made several, several modifications in order to make it palatable. My modifications made this a 5-star recipe, but do not make this as written.

Made this last night for dinner and it was delicious. I'll cut back on the vinegar next time or add more brown sugar. I think it would be yummy to add onions to the skewers next time. Will definitely make again.
