Time 4h5m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried ginger
2 teaspoons chicken bouillon
6 boneless skinless chicken breasts (can use frozen, see below)
1 (19 ounce) can pineapple chunks, reserve juice
2 cups baby carrots, cut in half

Steps:

  • Pour honey, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic powder, ginger, bouillon and pineapple juice in the crock pot and stir.
  • Lay chicken on bottom of pot and cover with carrots and pineapple chunks.
  • Cook in your crock pot for 4-6 hours on low or 3-4 on high. If you are using frozen chicken breast, just add another hour on low or 1/2 hour on high.
  • I actually like the thinner sauce for this one. A reviewer suggested thickening the sauce, so I will include CarrolJ's recommendation - after the meat, carrots and pineapple are removed, add 1/2 cup of water mixed with 4 Tablespoons of cornstarch. Then cook the sauce until thickened and smooth.

HULI HULI CHICKEN



Huli Huli Chicken image

In 1955, Ernest Morgado, a Honolulu businessman, served a group of farmers grilled chicken that had been marinated in his mother's teriyaki-style sauce. It was such a hit that he decided to market it with the name "huli huli." Huli means "turn" in Hawaiian and refers to how it's prepared: grilled between two racks and turned halfway through cooking. This simplified version calls for chicken pieces and a standard grill. The original recipe is a trade secret, but you can find many slightly different variations on the internet, typically including ginger, garlic, soy sauce, something sweet (honey, brown sugar or maple syrup) and something acidic (vinegar, white wine, lime juice or pineapple juice). This recipe is adapted from "Aloha Kitchen: Recipes from Hawai'i" by Alana Kysar (Ten Speed, March 2019). It also works beautifully with boneless chicken thighs, but adjust your cooking time accordingly.

Time 8h45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup packed light or dark brown sugar
1/4 cup rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar
1 (1-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated
2 to 3 garlic cloves, peeled and finely grated
3 1/2 to 4 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken pieces
Grapeseed or canola oil, for brushing the grill grate

Steps:

  • In a large bowl or a gallon-size resealable plastic bag, combine the ketchup, soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, ginger and garlic, and stir or shake until combined. Reserve and refrigerate 1/2 cup of the mixture for basting the chicken later. Add the chicken to the remaining mixture, and stir or shake until evenly coated. If using a bowl, cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate overnight, or at least 8 hours, turning the chicken at least once.
  • When you're ready to cook, oil your grill grates well. Heat the grill to medium (for charcoal, the grill is ready when you can hold your hand 5 inches above the coals for 5 to 7 seconds). Add the chicken to the grill, cover, and cook 25 to 35 minutes, turning every 5 minutes to keep the chicken from burning, and basting it with the reserved marinade after you turn it, until cooked through. (Cook times will vary depending on sizes and cuts of chicken pieces, so be sure to check for doneness: Meat should not be pink and the juices should run clear.) Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Make sure to use boneless, skinless chicken thighs for this recipe. They will stay moist and tender in the slow cooker.
  • If you don't have pineapple juice, you can substitute orange juice or apple juice.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables to this recipe, such as bell peppers, carrots, or celery.
  • Serve this chicken with rice, noodles, or mashed potatoes.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

This slow cooker hula chicken is a delicious and easy meal that is perfect for a busy weeknight. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. The chicken is tender and flavorful, and the sauce is sweet and tangy. The whole family will love this dish!
