In a bowl, mix corn flour with flour and water, add chili flakes, season with salt and pepper, and mix until well combined. Dip the chicken in the previous mixture and fry for 5 minutes in preheated oil, place on absorbent paper to remove excess fat, and set aside. For the sweet and sour sauce, in a small pot over medium heat, add pineapple juice, sugar, white vinegar, ketchup, soy sauce, and cornstarch, dissolve and add chili flakes, and cook for 7 to 10 minutes or until slightly thickened. Serve the chicken with the sweet and sour sauce and garnish with black sesame seeds.
