A new slant on chicken . . .

I've tried this recipe and it is a little sweet so you might want to adjust the sugar called for in it to your own tastes. I added chili flakes to offset the sweet with the tangy and my family enjoyed it with steamed rice.

Lemonade Chicken

1 6 ounce can frozen lemonade, thawed
3 tablespoons catsup or tomato paste
3 tablespoons brown sugar
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/3 teaspoon ground ginger
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon chili flakes
Salt & black pepper to taste
2-2 1/2 pounds chicken pieces
Oil for frying

Combine all the ingredients except the chicken and oil in a bowl and set aside.

Dredge chicken with flour and brown in the hot oil until golden but not cooked through. Drain excess oil and pour the bowl of sauce over the chicken. Cover and simmer for approximately 30 minutes our until chicken is tender. Goes great with either brown or white rice.
