GRILLED SWEET AND SOUR CHICKEN

Steps:

• For the chicken, prepare the brine by whisking together the water, salt, brown sugar and soy sauce in a large bowl until the sugar and salt are mostly dissolved.
• Cut each chicken breast into 2-inch strips (so about two strips per chicken breasts, depending on the size of the chicken breasts) and submerge all the chicken pieces fully in the brine mixture. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least two hours (or up to four hours). Any longer than four hours and the chicken may be too salty.
• For the sauce, whisk together all the sauce ingredients in a medium saucepan and bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-low heat. Let the sauce simmer for about 15 minutes to reduce and thicken slightly (can simmer longer for a thicker sauce), stirring occasionally. There may be a strong vinegar smell as the sauce simmers and the vinegar evaporates - that's completely normal (and the sauce will not taste overly vinegary).
• Preheat grill to medium heat (on my pellet grill, I preheat to 350 degrees for this recipe). Remove the chicken from the brine and pat dry with paper towels. Discard the brine.
• Grill the chicken, turning once, until an instant-read thermometer registers 165 degrees F (exact cooking time will depend on what type of grill you have; it takes about 15 minutes total on my pellet grill for thin cut chicken at this temperature). During the last two minutes of grilling brush the chicken liberally with the prepared sweet and sour sauce.
• Remove the chicken from the grill to a serving platter and drizzle with remaining sauce OR serve the sweet and sour sauce on the side.

Turn the pieces over and season again. When the oil begins to smoke lightly, use a pair of metal tongs to carefully add the pieces, skin side down, to the skillet. Do not overcrowd the pan. Resist the temptation to move or turn the pieces, until they have browned on the first side, 5 to 8 minutes. Turn the chicken over and brown on the second side, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a baking sheet and bake in the oven until cooked through, 15 to 18 minutes.
• Cook the bacon: Add the bacon to the skillet you used to cook the chicken and cook until browned and crispy, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a kitchen towel. Reserve the skillet.
• While the chicken is cooking, make the sweet-and-sour sauce: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat and add the onions and a pinch of salt.

Add the white wine, 1/2 to 1 1/2 cups of water, the raisins, brown sugar, and red wine vinegar. Simmer, adding up to 1 more cup water if necessary, until the liquid reduces and the onions are cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes. Season with salt and white pepper.
• Finish the dish: In the skillet you used to cook the bacon, pour off any excess grease and add the tomatoes. Simmer over medium heat until almost all the liquid is gone, 5 to 8 minutes. Pour the sweet-and-sour sauce into the skillet and then add the pieces of chicken and the juices. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and toss to coat the chicken with sauce. Taste for seasoning.
