- 1/4 cup all purpose flour
- 2 cups pineapple juice

- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 1/2 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt

- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
Instructions
- Combine Sauce: In a large glass measuring cup or mixing bowl, combine the pineapple juice, brown sugar, ketchup, soy sauce, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and seasonings. Whisk until all ingredients are incorporated; set aside.
- Sauté Onion: Heat 2 Tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until onion begins to brown.
- Thicken Sauce: Stir in 1/4 cup flour. Add pineapple juice mixture to the skillet with the butter, onion and flour. Bring to a boil.
- Boil: Boil, stirring, 10-15 minutes or until sauce is thick.
- Slow Cook: Place the chicken in the crockpot and pour the sauce it. Cook on low heat 8 hours. Shred using 2 large forks.
- Serve: Serve on sandwich rolls, over rice, or on top of your favorite salads.
Notes
If sauce is not as thick as you’d like it to be, you can prop open the lid and let some additional liquid evaporate before shredding and serving. Note: sauce will thicken further as it cools. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
