This Hawaiian chicken recipe is not your ordinary fried chicken recipe. Instead of being marinated in buttermilk like a traditional fried chicken, this Hawaiian chicken is marinated in a pineapple marinade. What you get is the same tender chicken but with a lot more flavor from the pineapples and other ingredients that make up the marinade.Â

- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Salt
- 1.2 kilograms Chicken portioned and cleaned
- 1 Cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 Cup cornstarch
- 1 Cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 Cup crispy breading mix
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 4 large eggs beaten
- Oil for frying
- 1/4 Cup white onions chopped
- 1 tablespoon Garlic chopped
- 4 pieces tomato sliced
- 1/2 Cup pineapple chunks drained
- 1 tablespoon Oil
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 Cup pineapple chunks chopped, drained

- 1/4 Cup red onion sliced thinly
- 3 cups cabbage shredded thinly
- 2 tablespoons Vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt

Instructions
- Place pineapple juice, bell pepper, black pepper, and salt in a blender, and process until smooth. Pour over chicken in a container with an airtight lid. Close lid, and marinate overnight in the refrigerator.
- Heat oil, about 2 inches deep, in a large pot.
- Prepare a breading station: Mix flour, cornstarch, and crispy breading mix in a bowl. Coat the chicken pieces with the flour mixture. Tap to remove excess. Dip in the egg wash, and roll in breadcrumbs. Deep fry chicken in for 8 minutes or until juice runs clear. Drain well. Keep warm until ready to serve with the sauce and pineapple slaw.
- Make the sauce: Heat oil in saucepan. Saute onions, garlic, and tomatoes. Add pineapple chunks and any reserved marinade. Let it simmer for 30 minutes or until sauce has thickened. Adjust taste with sugar and more salt.
- Make the Slaw: Place all ingredients in a mixing bowl. Mix until combined well. Transfer in a bowl. Cover and let it sit in the chiller for at least 30 minutes before using.
