Sweet pineapple sauce with grated ginger gives this glaze a kick over chunky chicken pieces.
BEHIND THIS PINEAPPLE GINGER CHICKEN
Just because it has pineapples doesn’t mean it’s hawaiian food! Don’t get every recipe with pineapples twisted. Maybe it’s better to call this recipe tropical, don’t you think? There are alot of recipes that have pineapples in them to make dishes flavorful, sweet and savory.
The pineapple ginger glaze has a unique flavor to bathe your chicken chunks in. Your family will definitely indulge and request this for dinner every week – LOL!
