My Hawaiian Neighbor Showed Us This Delicious Recipe — Hard to Believe It’s Just 3 Ingredients!
Sometimes, the most unforgettable dishes come from the most unexpected moments. For us, it was a sunny afternoon and a conversation over the fence with our Hawaiian neighbor that turned into a culinary revelation. What she shared with us wasn’t just a recipe—it was a slice of island magic made with only three simple ingredients.
This dish is proof that flavor doesn’t need to be complicated. With roots in Hawaiian home cooking, it’s the kind of recipe that’s passed down with a smile—easy enough for weeknight meals but delicious enough to impress at any gathering. Sweet, savory, and sticky in all the right ways, this recipe brings island comfort right into your kitchen.
What Is It?
The dish is a Hawaiian-inspired slow cooker or oven-baked entree, often referred to locally as “Island Chicken” or “Hula Chicken.” It’s incredibly flavorful despite its short ingredient list, and works well with chicken thighs or drumsticks.
The 3 Magical Ingredients
- Chicken thighs or drumsticks – Juicy, tender, and perfect for soaking up flavor
- Soy sauce – Adds that essential savory, umami base
- Brown sugar (or pineapple juice) – Balances the saltiness with a perfect touch of island sweetness
(Optional bonus: Add fresh pineapple chunks or garlic for extra flair.)
How to Make It
1. Combine ingredients:
Place chicken in a large bowl or slow cooker. Pour over soy sauce and brown sugar (or pineapple juice). Stir to coat well.
2. Cook:
- In a slow cooker, cook on low for 5–6 hours or high for 3–4 hours until tender.
- Or, bake in a 375°F oven for about 45–50 minutes, basting occasionally.
