DALE'S WAIKIKI BBQ CHICKEN



Dale's Waikiki BBQ Chicken image

Easy Hawaiian style chicken with a sweet and sour bbq sauce, not much effort at all. Not my original recipe, but I have loved this and have been making it for over 15 years. Thanks to Dale for posting the original.

Provided by Sue L

Categories     Chicken

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 lb boneless chicken breast
flour, to coat
salt and pepper
cooking oil
8 oz can crushed pineapple, undrained
1 c barbecue sauce
1 Tbsp cornstarch
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1 c pineapple chunks (optional garnish)

Steps:

  • 1. Flatten chicken breast between pieces of wax paper or plastic wrap with a mallet and cut into serving size pieces.
  • 2. Season chicken with salt and black pepper, then dredge in flour, shaking off excess.
  • 3. Heat oil about an inch deep in a large skillet and brown pieces of chicken on both sides and drain.
  • 4. Whisk together the crushed pineapple, bbq sauce, cornstarch and ginger.
  • 5. Place chicken in a clean skillet and cover with sauce. Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat, cover and simmer for 25-35 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
  • 6. Garnish with chinks of pineapple if desired.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help the cooking process go more smoothly and ensure that you don't miss anything.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will always yield the best results. If you can, try to use organic or locally-sourced ingredients whenever possible.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're cooking chicken, it's important to not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to stick to the pan.
  • Cook the chicken until it's cooked through: To ensure that the chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that it has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: After you've cooked the chicken, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.

Conclusion:

Chicken Waikiki is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. It's a great way to use up leftover chicken, and it's also a great option for a quick and easy weeknight meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can easily make a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
