This is one of my favorite dishes. I learned how to make this dish in a Chinese Cooking class that I took years ago. Its a well-known chicken recipe that is mainly made in Hawaii. The chicken is gently simmerd in soy sauce and juice and comes out tender and very flavorful. Read more My "Mainland" twist is to bake it for several minutes before serving to firm up the chicken which makes it even better if there is skin on the chicken. This is one recipe that is really worth trying! When served over rice, it makes a great meal. See less
Ingredients
- 3-4 pounds of chicken thighs with the skin on. (You can use boneless,skinless chicken but you will have to monitor the cooking time.) I buy the large inexpensive family packs of whole thighs. shopping list
- 1 cup regular soy sauce shopping list
- 1 cup of pineapple juice shopping list
- 1/2 cup of brown or white sugar shopping list
- 3 cloves of sliced garlic shopping list
- 2 tsp. minced fresh ginger (powdered ginger works but fresh is better) shopping list
- 1 tsp. ground pepper shopping list
- Optional: 1 tsp. crushed red pepper seeds if you'd like to add some "heat" to the finished recipe. shopping list
How to make it
- Using a large pot or a dutch oven, add all of the ingredients except the chicken and bring to a boil over a medium-high heat.
- After reaching the boiling point, add the chicken thighs, stir and cover the pot.
- Reduce heat to a low flame and simmer for an hour.
- Remove chicken from the liquid and place on a large baking sheet covered with either a silicone baking pad of Release Aluminum Foil.
- Bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees, skin side up!
- Serve with or over fresh rice.

I made the recipe with the changes I noted in my last comment. The consensus from the family was to definitely keep this one and repeat it! The only question is how to make it a bit spicier. Does anyone have a suggestion as to what kind of spice migh...more
