Easy Sticky Pineapple Chicken Ingredients

• 1 large pineapple
• 1 tbsp cooking oil
• 6 boneless chicken thighs (cut into bite-size squares)
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tbsp hoisin sauce
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tbsp garlic paste
• 5 1/2 tablespoons of chicken stock
• sesame seeds (for garnish)
• rice (to serve)

How to Make Sticky Pineapple Chicken

Step 1:

Get a sharp knife. Carefully cut the pineapple in half lengthwise.

Step 2:

Cut around the edge of the pineapple using the tip of a knife. Be careful not to cut through the skin.

Step 3:

Slice the pineapple flesh in a crisscross pattern then scoop out the pineapple cubes using a spoon. Place the flesh in a bowl and save it for later. Discard the core.

Step 4:

Place a large pan over medium heat and add the oil. Once hot, add the chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 10 minutes or until browned and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and set aside.

Step 5:

Add the pineapple squares, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, and garlic paste into the same pan and cook for a couple of minutes. Next, stir in the chicken stock and let it come to a simmer.

Step 6:

Add the chicken back once the sauce is thick and stir to coat.

Step 7:

Serve the chicken in the empty pineapple halves, along with white rice. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top and serve. Enjoy!
