Marion's Lighter Sweet & Sour Chicken: Pineapple Juice Sauce, No Heavy Batter

Marion Grasby shares her elevated take on classic Chinese takeaway sweet and sour chicken, featuring a from-scratch sauce made with pineapple juice, brown sugar, and Chinese five-spice instead of chunky pineapple. The chicken is lightly dusted in flour (not a heavy batter) for a crispier, lighter result. A great weeknight stir-fry for fans of Asian home cooking.
