How To Make Sweet Hawaiian Crockpot Chicken

When I was a kid, I remember loving chicken legs. While I wasn’t really picky when it came to chicken, I always preferred the leg part. I had this favorite fast food restaurant that served the best chicken. As a kid, drumstick was really the most convenient to eat and the juiciest. But now that I’m an adult, my favorite switched to thighs. Thighs are simply the best chicken parts for me. And if someone argues, I really defend them.

I love chicken breasts too, but only for some meals. While they’re the best chicken meat for diet, they tend to get dry; and that’s not what I want in my meals. Chicken thighs are still the perfect parts to go to my savory meals.

My family loves chicken thighs too, but I have to admit I rarely cook them. They’re not really the healthiest, and that’s where breasts have the advantage. Because I will always consider the health of my family.

This Hawaiian Crockpot Chicken recipe from Recipe Girl involves breasts, however, I tried thighs with this too.

It’s need only has 4 ingredients and cooks in your slow-cooker, so you can get a delicious dinner on the table with minimal effort.

Ingredients :

2 lb. (.9kg) chicken tenderloin chunks
1 cup pineapple juice
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup soy sauce

Instructions :

Combine all together, cook on low in Crock-pot 6-8 hours…that’s it! Done!
Preparation: 5 min
Cook: 8 hours
Ready in: 8 hours 5 min

KFC ORIGINAL SECRET CHICKEN RECIPE

KFC Original Recipe Chicken has been a huge part of my childhood. As a kid my aunt would walk me home from school and we would stop at the KFC that was a half a block from my school. We’d share chicken and a strawberry parfait they used to sell. Unlike the Pioneer Chicken that my mom used to buy, this food memory is one I can still enjoy anytime I wanted.
So why make a copycat recipe of it if you have one a mile down the road? Well, A: Copycat recipes are a ton of fun and B: Way, way, way, way higher quality.

Have you been to a KFC in the last decade? I’ve only been a few times but was disappointed each time because the chicken pieces have shrunken… a lot. Also, and hey to each his own (I’m definitely guilty of my fair share of food sins), but KFC uses MSG in the recipe for its KFC Original Recipe Chicken. Oh, and last thing, as far as fast food goes, it tends to be pretty pricy.
So here we are all trying to decode the famous 11 herbs and spices. Everyone has theories, and according to KFC no one has EVER been right. So I have sort of watched the copycat rounds develop from a distance. Then something pretty awesome happened.

Ingredients

  • 1 whole chicken, cut into pieces
  • 3 beaten eggs
  • 4 tablespoons oil

For the coating

  • 2 cups flour
  • 4 teaspoons paprika
  • 1 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning (or chicken stock powder)
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 teaspoon tarragon
  • 1 teaspoon parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon thyme
  • 1 teaspoon chives
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon celery salt

Directions
Sift flour and add together all the coating ingredients and grind finely with a mortar and pestle and place in a clean plastic bag. Coat each chicken piece first with the beaten egg, then with the flour mixture in the bag. Make sure you coat each piece completely with the flour.

Heat the oil in a skillet. Brown the chicken in oil slowly, uncovered. Once browned, cover the skillet and keeping frying on a very gentle heat until the chicken is fully cooked. Place on paper towels to drain out the excess

OLD FASHIONED APPLE DUMPLINGS

“Mouthwatering Old Fashioned Apple Dumplings, Enveloped in Golden Pastry and Served with a Sweet Apple Cider Sauce”

Ingredients:

For the Dumplings:

6 large Granny Smith apples, peeled and cored

2 ready-made 9-inch pie crusts

1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon salt

6 tablespoons of butter

For the Sauce:

2 cups apple cider

3 tablespoons brown sugar

2 tablespoons butter

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions:

Start by preheating your oven to 375°F. Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan and keep it aside for now.

Divide your pie crusts into 6 even sections. Roll each one into a roughly 7-inch square or circle. You want these big enough to entirely envelop each apple. Place an apple on each dough piece, with the cored part facing up.

In a small bowl, combine your brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Evenly distribute this mixture among your apples, stuffing some into the hollow cores and scattering the rest around the base of each apple.

Slice your butter into 6 equal pieces. Put one slice into the core of each apple.

Wrap the corners of the dough around each apple, making sure to pinch the edges together securely. Your apples should now be completely encased. Place your finished dumplings into the prepared baking pan.

Let’s make that irresistible sauce. In a medium-sized saucepan over medium-high heat, combine all the sauce ingredients. Stir this mixture constantly until it reaches a low boil. After the sugar has dissolved, let it cook for an additional minute, then remove from the heat. Allow your sauce to cool for 5 minutes before evenly pouring it over your dumplings.

Pop your dumplings into your preheated oven and bake for 50-55 minutes. They’re done when they’re gorgeously golden brown and the apples inside are tender.

Allow your dumplings to rest for 10 minutes after leaving the oven. Serve them warm, preferably with a scoop of ice cream and a generous drizzle of the extra sauce.

Extra Tips:

Storage: Keep any leftover dumplings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months. To reheat, simply place them in the oven at 350°F.

The Best Apples for Dumplings: While I prefer the tartness of Granny Smith apples, you can choose any apple you love. Fuji, Honey Crisp, or Snapdragon apples are all fantastic options.

No Apple Cider?: If you can’t find apple cider, apple juice will do just fine. But keep in mind, apple cider adds a touch more depth to the flavor.

Feeling Spicy?: Try adding cinnamon candies (like red hots) to the center of your apples before wrapping them. This gives your dumplings a spicy, cinnamon-filled surprise in every bite, a fun twist on the classic recipe.
