Island Chicken

Island Chicken… Sweet-and-tangy island chicken is a super-easy slow-cooker meal the whole family loves. Juicy chicken thighs soak up pineapple, garlic, onion, ketchup, brown sugar, hoisin, and ginger for tropical flavour. Cooks low and slow all day, serve over fried rice for a yummy, no-fuss dinner that feels like vacation!

Ingredients

Island Chicken: Instructions

1. Put the chicken in your slow cooker.

2. Mix up all the other stuff in a bowl and pour it over the chicken.

3. Put the lid on and cook on low for about 6 hours.

4. If you want thicker sauce, stir in some cornflour before eating.

5. I like to spoon it over hot fried rice—yum!
