Method

  1. Toss the chicken thighs with salt, egg and cornstarch. Mix ketchup, rice vinegar, soy sauce, sugar and a splash of the pineapple syrup.
  2. Heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Pan-fry the chicken until golden, then set aside.
  3. Stir-fry onion, red pepper and pineapple 2 minutes.
  4. Pour in the sauce, return the chicken and toss until glossy. Serve.

Shopping tip

Same shelf as the pork version: ketchup, vinagre de arroz, ananás em lata, pimento. Coxas de frango stay juicier.
