My wife is cooking her version of sweet and sour pork tonight. Take the ordinary sweet and sour port recipe, but use chicken instead of pork. It's a small twist on the recipe that tastes super good. Also, try adding other fruit to the sauce, instead of just pineapple (canned lychees are great if you can find them).
Advanced version my sister in law does: replace the lumps of pork with that super thinly sliced pork you find in the freezer section in asian grocery stores (the stuff you use for sukiyaki). Roll each slice of pork into a cylinder, then batter and fry it like normal. You get way more surface area for the crispy batter to cling to.

Lychees in sauce? That's actually ingenious. Forgot you could do that.
Crunchy brisket rolls also sounds like an incredibly good technique, maybe I'll have to get that through a test run in the kitchen.
