Step-by-Step Instructions
First, gather your ingredients and get ready to create something magical! I like to start by adding the chicken thighs to the bottom of the crockpot. If you have time, you can give them a quick sear on the stovetop for added flavor, but it’s not necessary. Next, in a mixing bowl, combine pineapple chunks, soy sauce, brown sugar, ketchup, and minced garlic. Pour this sweet and savory mixture over the chicken and cover the crockpot with the lid. Set it to cook on low for about 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours. Can you smell that? It’s like a tropical vacation in your kitchen! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
