Chicken in sweet and sour sauce with rice
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. To make chicken in sweet and sour sauce with rice, I suggest trying a sauce based on honey, soy sauce, and chili sauce. We'll also add a bit of rice vinegar and ketchup, and to make the sauce thicker, we'll dissolve some starch in water. By the way, you can use fresh pineapple instead of canned. Serve the finished dish immediately.
