Steps

1

First, you will make the sauce: In a bowl, add pineapple juice from the can without the chunks (set aside for late), ketchup, soy sauce, brown sugar, rice wine vinegar, lime juice, sesame oil, chilli-garlic sauce(or any other chilli sauce), garlic, ginger, salt, pepper, and whisk to combine. Set the sauce aside for now.
2

Drizzle olive oil over the bottom of the slow cooker or if you don’t have one, you can use a cast-iron dish with a lid and set aside.
3

Put the chicken and the corn starch into a large plastic bag, seal it and toss around until the chicken is evenly coated. Evenly distribute the chicken to a slow cooker/pan. And add the pineapple chunks over the chicken.
4

Now, pour the sauce that you prepared earlier all over the chicken, use a spoon if necessary. Make sure it’s all covered.
5

If using a Slow Cook, cover and cook for about 1 hour and 40 minutes in high or on low for 4 hours. If cooking on high, check at 90 minutes, and if cooking on low, checking at 3 hours. Because slow cookers are different from each the time may vary, just check the chicken if it’s cooked. If using a cast-iron pan, place in the oven for 3 hours at 120°C.
6

Serve with white rice and garnish with some chopped coriander. Enjoy!

Hi fellow cooks! I am a "sauce" (read South 😂)American girl(older girl 😁) living in Bristol since 2007.I was born in Chile but grew up in Brazil, between two cultures, two languages, two food planets.Everything happened in the kitchen - the laughs, the dances, the pasta fights, the dog's invasion after each meal, and so on.Everyone in my family cooks.Since a young age, I saw my grandparents, my parents, my sister, my brothers, aunties & uncles and everyone else around me trying to feed me, all the time! It doesn't happen anymore, I have to do it now, for myself and for my family. I feed everyone!Here you will find some of those old recipes and some new ones.Also, you will see that my cooking skills come with nice food photos too.See you in the kitchen!
