Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 lb (1.3 kg) chicken pieces of your choice (thighs, drumsticks or wings)
2 tbsp (30 ml) fish sauce
1 tbsp (15 ml) lemon juice
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
2 tbsp (30 ml) vegetable oil
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 small onion, chopped
1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened pineapple juice
2 tbsp (25 g) sugar
2 tbsp (30 ml) soy sauce
1 (14-oz [398-ml]) can pineapple chunks with juice
Salt, to taste
Steamed rice, for serving

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine the chicken pieces with the fish sauce, lemon juice and pepper; toss to combine. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour. Drain the chicken and discard the marinade.
  • Heat the oil in a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and onion, and sauté until the onion begins to soften, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the chicken and sauté until no longer pink, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the pineapple juice, sugar and soy sauce. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium and simmer covered until the chicken is almost tender, about 20 minutes.
  • Add the pineapple chunks with juice and continue to simmer until the sauce has reduced and the chicken is tender, about 20 minutes. Season to taste with salt.
  • Serve with steamed rice.
