Equipment

1 Slow Cooker

Ingredients

1-1 1/2 pounds chicken tenderloins cut into bite size pieces
1/3 cup cornstarch
3 eggs
1 cup vegetable oil for frying
18 ounce bbq sauce bottle of your favorite
1 cup pineapple juice
1/3 cup brown sugar
green onions or scallions for garnish, optional

Instructions

In a mixing bowl combine your eggs and cornstarch.
Coat your chicken pieces in cornstarch egg mixture.
Heat up the oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.
Brown the chicken quickly in the pan. We are not looking to cook the chicken through, just get a little color on each side.
Place the browned chicken in the slow cooker.
In a mixing bowl combine BBQ sauce, pineapple juice and brown sugar.
Pour the sauce over the chicken. Stir everything to combine.
Cover and cook on LOW for 3-4 hours. Check and stir halfway through. Slow cookers cook differently so make sure to stir and make sure your slow cooker isn't running too hot and burning the sauce.
Garnish with scallions. Serve over rice.
