Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 pounds Halal chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce (ensure it’s Halal certified)
  • 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks (or canned, drained)
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 4 cloves freshly minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce (make sure it’s Halal)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Optional: Fresh cilantro or green onions for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by trimming any excess fat from the chicken thighs and pat them dry with paper towels.
  2. In a bowl, combine the BBQ sauce, honey, minced garlic, ground ginger, soy sauce, black pepper, and salt. Stir until well blended.
Cooking
  1. Place the chicken thighs in the crockpot. Add the pineapple chunks on top, then pour the BBQ sauce mixture over the chicken.
  2. Cover and set the crockpot to low for 4–5 hours, or high for 2–3 hours. The chicken is done when it registers an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Serving
  1. Once cooked, shred the chicken if desired or serve whole. Garnish with fresh cilantro or green onions before enjoying!

Notes

For best results, store leftovers in air-tight glass containers and refrigerate within two hours of cooking. Reheat in an air fryer or oven to maintain texture. Can be frozen for up to 3 months.
