SWEET HAWAIIAN SLOW-COOKER CHICKEN RECIPE - (4.5/5)



Sweet Hawaiian Slow-Cooker Chicken Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by snickadoodle

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 pounds chicken tenderloin chunks
1 cup pineapple juice
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup soy sauce
rice, cooked, for serving

Steps:

  • Mix the chicken, pineapple juice, brown sugar, and soy sauce together in the slow-cooker. Set the crockpot on low and cook for 6 to 8 hours. Serve over cooked rice.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs are the best choices for this recipe. They cook evenly and quickly in the slow cooker.
  • Make sure your chicken is thawed. Frozen chicken will take longer to cook and may not cook evenly.
  • Use a good quality barbecue sauce. The sauce is the star of this dish, so make sure you choose one that you like. You can use a store-bought sauce or make your own.
  • Don't crowd the chicken in the slow cooker. Leave some space between the pieces of chicken so that they can cook evenly.
  • Cook the chicken on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. The cooking time will depend on the size of your chicken pieces and the type of slow cooker you are using.
  • Serve the chicken immediately. You can serve it on its own, with rice or mashed potatoes, or on a bun with coleslaw.

Conclusion:

This slow cooker sweet BBQ chicken is a delicious and easy meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. It is also a great recipe for potlucks and parties. With just a few simple ingredients, you can have a flavorful and satisfying meal that everyone will love.
