Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. Begin by placing boneless skinless chicken thighs directly into the crockpot, ensuring the chicken pieces are spread out evenly for consistent cooking.
  2. In a medium-sized bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, and chopped onions. Whisk these ingredients together until the sugar dissolves completely.
  3. Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken in the crockpot, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Then, add your pineapple chunks on top.
  4. Set your crockpot to low heat and let the Sweet Hawaiian Crockpot Chicken cook for approximately 6 hours.
  5. Once the cooking time is complete, carefully shred the chicken inside the crockpot using two forks, mixing it well with the sauce.
