Crock Pot Huli Huli Chicken

Huli Huli Chicken is a traditional Hawaiian dish that is grilled. I'm not Hawaiian but I love the food. Since I really can't grill chicken (I burn it every time) I have developed a similar recipe that would give me the flavors.

• Ready In: 3 hrs 40 mins
• Serves: 6

Ingredients

• 6  boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 1 1⁄2 cups  brown sugar barbecue sauce (my favorite Guy Fieri)
• 1  cup crushed pineapple
• 1⁄2 medium onion, cut in lg chunks
• 3  garlic cloves, crushed
• 2  tablespoons soy sauce
• 1  hot pepper, seeded, left in 2 lg pieces
• 1  teaspoon coarse sea salt
• 1  tablespoon  grated fresh ginger or 1  teaspoon dried ginger
• 1  tablespoon coconut oil

Directions

1. I mix everything except the chicken and onions in the crock pot first. We like spicy foods but not really hot so I cut the pepper in just two halves so I can pull it out before serving. Then add the chicken breasts, pushing them under the sauce. I usually don't plan ahead enough to thaw the chicken so I put them in frozen. Put the onion chunks on top to keep them from turning to mush.
2. Start with the cooker on high then once it all starts to bubble turn it down on low. It took my cooker about 3 1/2 hours. If you're leaving the house I would just start it on low and would be fine for a lot longer.
3. I served mine with wild rice.
