Hawaiian chicken is like a cross between sweet and sour chicken and the chicken is brown sugar. Have a sticky sauce of sweet and fun pieces of pineapple and peppers served over white rice?
The best way to describe the taste is the sweet and tangy sauce that is a cross between the pineapple chicken, sweet and sour chicken, chicken and sugar.
The sauce ended up being a sticky sauce, caramelized brown sugar, and pineapple, with some nice sharp entry from vinegar and BBQ sauce. In reality, this hen sauce is so good I sometimes use it to bake a chicken breast, not just to make this delicious, almost like stir-fried food.
When that kind of bleak, and we get stuck in the cold, dark winter months, I like to have fresh and flavorful food that brings some sunshine and brighten up the table. This is definitely one of those. No one will feel gloomy or sad when they get a taste of these foods. Taste really delicious.

One of my favorite parts of this Hawaiian chicken recipe that consists of everyday ingredients that are simple to find, and really awesome when combined. So despite its simplicity, it feels so special.
It's so simple: grilled chicken, Cook peppers, combine the sauce ingredients and then add all the ingredients together. Cook until the peppers and sauce thickens, soft and shiny. It's that simple!
