CHICKEN LUAU BY KUANA TORRES

Chicken Luau by Kuana Torres image

We were very excited to kick off season 14 of Cooking Hawaiian Style with the multi-talented singer songwriter Kuana Torres. We had Kuana in our kitchen 7 seasons ago and thought it was about time to bring him back. His mana'o on Hawaiian culture and cuisine makes for an extra special episode. In addition to singing, Kuana spends much of his time online these days conducting hula work shops and lei making classes, this pandemic has not slowed him down one bit. Kuanaʻs Chicken Lūʻau recipe is definitely worth a try.

You can also use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, but the cooking time may be shorter.
If you are using frozen chicken, be sure to thaw it completely before cooking.
You can add other vegetables to the slow cooker along with the chicken, such as potatoes, carrots, or celery.
If you want a thicker sauce, you can add a cornstarch slurry (equal parts cornstarch and water) to the slow cooker during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
Serve the chicken with rice, noodles, or vegetables.
