This is one of my family's favorite meals. We had it for dinner last night and I just thought maybe I should share it (I posted it on my blog a couple of months ago, but my blog doesn't get that much traffic). My son will eat brown rice when I make this chicken and he spoons the sauce over it.
2 tablespoons oil
3 pounds chicken pieces – skin and remove visible fat. I use thighs and legs since they are so cheap
¾ cup pineapple juice (or use any juice)
1/3 gf soy sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons vinegar (Heinz is gf)
½ teaspoon ginger
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons corn starch
Recipe
Heat the oil in a 12-inch skillet. Arrange the chicken in the skillet. Fry over medium-high heat until the chicken browns slightly.
Turn and brown all sides.
Mix all of the rest of the ingredients in a small container and pour into skillet.
Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer and cover. Cook covered about 45 minutes (less time if you are using smaller pieces).
If the liquid in the pan is too thin – remove the lid and simmer for a few minutes until it thickens up.
