Notes
For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the sauce for a few hours before cooking.
Use fresh pineapple juice for the best taste.
If you prefer a thicker sauce, remove the lid during the last hour of cooking to allow the sauce to reduce.
Add sliced bell peppers or onions for extra color.
Include a pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
Works well with chicken thighs for a richer result.
