@cheapeats00: 🛒 What You’ll Need: • 1.5 lbs chicken thighs or breast (thighs = cheaper + juicier) • 1/2 cup brown sugar (light or dark, whatever you got) • 1/2 cup pineapple juice (use the juice from canned pineapples) • 1/2 can (or full, if you love it) pineapple chunks • 2 tbsp soy sauce • 1 tbsp ketchup (for tang + color) • 1 tsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water (for thickening) • 1 tbsp oil • Salt & pepper to taste Optional: Garlic powder or chili flakes if you want it spicy or zesty Directions (the fun part) 😊 1. Cook the Chicken: • Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces. • Season lightly with salt and pepper. • Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, then cook the chicken until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from pan and set aside. 2. Make the Sauce: In the same skillet (don’t waste that flavor!): • Pour in pineapple juice, soy sauce, ketchup, and brown sugar. • Stir until sugar dissolves. • Bring to a simmer and add pineapple chunks. 3. Thicken it Up: • Mix the cornstarch + water in a small bowl, then stir it into the simmering sauce. • Let it bubble and thicken (2–3 mins). When it looks syrupy and glossy… chef’s kiss 💋 4. Coat the Chicken: • Toss that cooked chicken back into the sauce and stir until it’s coated in that sticky, sweet lava glaze. 🍽️ Serve With: • White rice, fried rice, or ramen noodles • Steamed broccoli or mixed veggies if you on a heathly tip 😊 🤑 Cheap Tips: • Use frozen chicken to save money • Pineapple chunks from the dollar store!! • Sub honey if you’re out of brown sugar (but brown sugar gives that deep caramel vibe) #viraltiktok #viraltiktok #viralllllll #viralvideo #viral_video #cheap #budget #budgetmeal #affordable #save #help #helpful #bigfamily #family #bargain #follow #share #like Enjoy 😉 make sure to follow and share for more cheap and easy recipes to feed your family !!!
