Crockpot Hawaiian Chicken Recipe

Yay! I got my Brand New Slow Cooker yesterday.

From the moment it arrived, I have been busy fidgeting with it. When I saw it for the first time, I was like - "Yay! Finally, I'll be able to make recipes in my slow cooker now". Then as a true Virgo would do - Or read the Owner's manual thoroughly - word by word!

Crockpot Hawaiian Chicken with Sweet Pineapple Glaze

Today morning I actually woke up quite early, and before I did anything I got out my slow cooker and kept it on my countertop. I knew I had to make Hawaiian Pineapple Chicken today. I opened my can of Pineapples and took out the pineapple slices. I sliced them up real quick and prepared my chicken for the recipe.

I was so excited. Finally, I would be able to make this recipe for Hawaiian Chicken in my slow cooker. I couldn't wait to dump it into my slow cooker.

Ingredients Needed to Make Hawaiian Chicken in Slow Cooker

  • Chicken - This recipe can be made with both Chicken Breasts and Chicken thighs.
  • All-Purpose Flour - Coat the chicken so that it gets crispy on the outside and remains juicy on the inside.
  • Olive Oil - You can also use Canola oil for this recipe.
  • Pineapple Juice, Ketchup, Soy Sauce, Vinegar, Chili Garlic Sauce, chopped Ginger, minced Garlic, and Honey - to make the sauce.

How to Make Hawaiian Chicken in the Crockpot

You can check out the video for this recipe below, or you may directly jump to the recipe card below.

But, I highly recommend reading this so that you don't miss out on any tips and tricks.

Step 1: Make the Sauce

I like to start my recipe with the sauce.

  • So, take a bowl or a pyrex measuring cup and pour Pineapple juice.
  • You can use fresh Pineapple juice or canned pineapple juice.
  • Add Ketchup, Dark Soy Sauce, Apple Cider Vinegar, Chili Garlic Sauce, chopped Ginger, minced garlic, and Honey. 
  • Mix lightly and your sauce is ready!

Step 2: Coat Chicken in Flour

  • Place Chicken (cut into small 1" cubes) in a bowl.
  • Coat it with flour. I have used all-purpose flour in this recipe. I haven't tried this with gluten-free flour so I cannot comment on that. If you happen to try this with any other flour, please let me know how was it. I like to use my hands to coat chicken. That is how chicken is evenly coated. You can also coat your chicken with flour in a ziplock bag.

Step 3: Place in Slow Cooker

  • Pour olive oil into the slow cooker.
  • Add Chicken and sliced Pineapples.
  • Pour the sauce, which you had made in Step 1.
  • Stir well to combine.

Step 4: Slow Cook

  • Plug-in your slow cooker.
  • Cover the ceramic pot with your glass lid.
  • Slow cook on High for 2-hours or on low for 4-hours. Easy right?

As you can see that in this recipe there is Pineapple Juice, there are small pineapple chunks that take this dish to a whole new level.

Then you have Honey which is a natural sweetener. So, basically this Crockpot Hawaiian Chicken recipe is "Sweet".

But, besides that what I love about this recipe for Slow Cooker Hawaiian Chicken is - Juicy Chicken. The juicy chicken makes the recipe taste so damn good.

When your Crockpot Hawaiian Chicken will be ready and you'll open the glass lid... what you'll have is pure gold. It would be soft, juicy chicken coated in a sweet Hawaiian sauce.

How to Store Leftovers?

If you are lucky enough to save some of this deliciousness then you can refrigerate it.

Before you refrigerate make sure it comes down to normal room temperature. Take it out in a bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and then you can refrigerate it for 2-days.

I think this is best served fresh. So, I do not recommend freezing this.
