Quote of the Day
Have a blessing day!
I made with boneless chicken thighs and also added crushed pineapple. I didn’t have ginger so I used about a tablespoon of ground ginger, came out great 🙂
This recipe is amazing! Followed to the letter except I added 1/2 can of pineapple chunks when chicken was turned to skin up and it turned out great. Also served with white rice and peas.
It will be a recipe I will use over and i
