Instructions for how to make this Hawaiian BBQ Chicken recipe
This crockpot Hawaiian chicken recipe could not be any simpler. Just 3 ingredients are needed! You can purchase the crockpot we used here.
Place chicken in the crockpot. We used one pound of chicken breasts, but you can add more chicken and still just use one can of pineapple chunks and one bottle of BBQ sauce.
Pour BBQ sauce over the chicken breasts and spread with a brush. Buy the basting brush we use here.
Place a pineapple ring on top of each piece of chicken and pour ½ cup of pineapple juice from the can over the chicken.
Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6 hours. Remove chicken from the crockpot with a fork and serve. You can add more barbecue sauce if you wish.
Serve it over a bed of white rice or on buns. This Crock-Pot Hawaiian BBQ Chicken recipe is delicious, easy to make, and will make your house smell great! And, if you prefer chicken thighs over chicken breast, that works well too! This is one of those chicken recipes that is very versatile.

You certainly can! I often don't have fresh pineapple on hand so I am sure to always keep a can of pineapple rings in my pantry.
