עוף באננס חמוץ מתוק על מצע אורז

Sweet and sour chicken with pineapple is great, tasty and crispy. Suitable for Friday night dinners, holidays and children! It has great color, it’s juicy and of course super delicious. There is a sweet and sour Asian taste which is a result of the wonderful flavors of the marinade. It is important to let the chicken sit in the marinade in the fridge for at least an hour (if not more) to absorb all the flavors!
