Slow Cooker Huli Huli Chicken
-
Description
-
Crockpot huli huli chicken is a dinner you can set and forget, then come back to and enjoy in all of its tropical goodness! Each bite of fork-tender chicken is flavored with the best sauce made of ginger, garlic, ketchup, brown sugar, and pineapple juice. It’s the perfect mix of sweet, tangy, and savory!
-
Ingredients
-
1 cup unsweetened pineapple juice
-
1/2 cup soy sauce
-
1/2 cup brown sugar
-
1/3 cup ketchup
-
2 teaspoons fresh ginger root grated
-
1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
-
4 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs -OR- chicken breasts
-
2 tablespoons cornstarch
-
Directions
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together your pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, ketchup, ginger, and garlic. Place your chicken thighs into a crock pot and pour your sauce mixture over the top of them, and cook on low for 5-7 hours. Remove the chicken from the crock pot and whisk in your cornstarch to thicken the sauce. At this point you can either enjoy your chicken in the whole thigh pieces with the sauce, or shred the chicken and add the shredded chicken back to the crock pot and stir it into the sauce. Shredding the chicken makes it an ideal sandwich filler, or topping on rice!

Stellum Rye (Barrel Proof/Pick)

The identity of Stellum Rye is rooted in a tried and true 95% Rye Indiana mash bill. To enhance this classic style, we incorporate small amounts of more barley-forward rye and choice barrels from both Kentucky and Tennessee. This brings a full, round mouthfeel and flashes of buttery sweetness to an otherwise spicy and tightly focused Rye Whiskey.
