LUAU RESTAURANT CELESTIAL CHICKEN WITH SUPREME SAUCE



Luau Restaurant Celestial Chicken With Supreme Sauce image

This is a recipe from the Luau restaurant in Memphis TN from the 60's&70's. The Luau was a polynesian restraunt with a tropical themed decor. Think Mai Tai's and cheesy Hawaiian boxed in music. But to us Memphians and the yearly prom goers, it was an escape! Anyway this dish is easy and so soul satisfying.

  • Season Your Food: Don't be afraid to season your food. Salt and pepper are essential, but you can also add other spices and herbs to taste.
  • Don't Overcook Your Food: Overcooked food is tough and dry. Cook your food just until it is done, then remove it from the heat.
