    Cup of Yum
  1. Cut the chicken into matchstick sized pieces and toss with cornstarch.
  2. Heat 1 inch of oil in large skillet on high heat and fry the chicken in batches until cooked (you are not looking to brown them, just cook them until crisp), about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Remove chicken to a plate and drain oil, leaving 1 tablespoon or so behind to make sauce.
  4. Add garlic and half the green onions to a large skillet or wok, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Whisk in the pineapple juice, sweet chili sauce, white vinegar and crushed red pepper flakes.
  6. Bring to a boil and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
  7. Add in the chicken and stir to combine, cooking 2 minutes until sauce is thickened. If sauce is still thin add 1 teaspoon cornstarch to 1 tablespoon water and add it to the skillet, stir and cook until thickened.
  8. Stir in remaining green onions and serve immediately.
