Be sure to reserve the juice when you drain it; you need it for the sauce!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Brown sugar:<\/strong> This sweetens the sauce in contrast to the other tangy and savory ingredients added.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cornstarch:<\/strong> This helps to thicken the sauce before it is poured over the chicken to bake.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ketchup:<\/strong> This adds a tangy taste to the sauce that pairs well with the other ingredients.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cider vinegar:<\/strong> This gives the sauce some acid that will help balance out the flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chili powder and ginger:<\/strong> These spices gives the sauce for this Hawaiian chicken a nice kick!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Worcestershire sauce and soy sauce:<\/strong> Both of these add a unique taste to the sauce added to the chicken.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Make the sauce<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2074028\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Hawaiian-Chicken_TOHD24_20039_KristinaVanni_1.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Taste Recipes Hawaiian Chicken photo of the sauce.\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">KRISTINA VANNI FOR TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Drain the pineapple and set the pineapple aside.

This will result in an even tastier meat!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use a slow cooker:<\/strong> Plan on being out all day and don\u2019t feel like having to attend to your oven? Place the chicken in the slow cooker and let it cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or until the chicken reads 165\u00b0 on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-meat-thermometer\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-meat-thermometer\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">meat thermometer<\/a>. The chicken will likely fall apart from slow cooking but it will still taste delicious!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Serve with pineapple rings:<\/strong> Instead of chunks, serve the chicken with big slices of pineapple for a more elegant plate of chicken! You could even grill the pineapple rings if you\u2019re really looking to wow your dinner guest with the presentation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Hawaiian Chicken<\/h2>\n<p>This chicken stores best in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days. This chicken will freeze well in that container for up to three months if you don\u2019t plan on eating it within that time frame. When it\u2019s time to eat, place the chicken in the fridge to defrost for 24 hours before heating up.<\/p>\n<h3>How do you reheat Hawaiian chicken?<\/h3>\n<p>Place the chicken in a baking dish and cover it with aluminum foil. Place it in the oven at 350\u00b0 for 10 to 15 minutes or until the chicken is fully heated through.<\/p>\n<h2>Hawaiian Chicken Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2074032\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Hawaiian-Chicken_TOHD24_20039_KristinaVanni_5.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Taste Recipes Hawaiian Chicken photo of the finished recipe.\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">KRISTINA VANNI FOR TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Can I use fresh pineapple juice?<\/h3>\n<p>While it may seem like fresh pineapple juice would be better, you should stick to using canned. Canned pineapple juice doesn\u2019t contain bromelain, a natural enzyme found in pineapple that can break down your meat. While this works well for tougher cuts of meat, it would make chicken mushy. So stick to canned.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you use chicken thighs for this recipe?<\/h3>\n<p>This recipe will also work well with bone-in skinless chicken thighs if you can\u2019t get your hands on a full chicken.<\/p>\n<h3>What do you eat with Hawaiian chicken?<\/h3>\n<p>Hawaiian chicken is best served on your favorite rice, like this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/peppered-cilantro-rice\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/peppered-cilantro-rice\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">peppered cilantro rice<\/a> or even a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/easy-fried-rice\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/easy-fried-rice\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">fried rice<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You can bring a taste of the tropics to your Christmas table with this flavorful entree.
