Sicilian Sweet and Sour Chicken

Rosa Fiore of Shoemakersville, Pennsylvania, won a second place and $10,000 in the National Chicken Cooking Contest for her "Sicilian Sweet and Sour Chicken." The judges liked the balance of flavors in the dish, which Rosa said is a traditional Sicilian approach combining raisins and sugar for sweet and vinegar, capers, and olives for tart. She is a native of Sicily; her family moved here when she was seven years old, and she and her husband, Salvatore, run a restaurant in Shoemakersville. Rosa also owns a tanning salon and sauna.
