Advice

When making pineapple chicken, it is important to choose a quality cut of chicken for the best flavor and texture. To prepare, marinate the chicken with a combination of pineapple juice, soy sauce, and garlic for at least an hour to infuse the flavors. When ready to cook, heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a little oil. Once hot, add the chicken and cook until golden brown. Add the pineapple chunks and cook for a few minutes until tender. Finally, season with salt and pepper, and serve with your favorite sides for a delicious dish.
