Notes
- Ingredient Substitutions:
- Ingredient Substitutions:
- Pineapple juice - can be replaced with orange juice
- Serve in the crockpot to keep them warm for serving rather than moving to a large serving platter or other plated dish. The sauce is much better warm.
- You can cook these in advance and refrigerate then place back in the crockpot to reheat. Since you’re cooking from refrigerated the second time around, they shouldn’t take as long to warm.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Double the recipe in a large crockpot if you are trying to serve a large crowd. They go quickly and the recipe doubles great.
- Pineapple juice - can be replaced with orange juice
- Light brown sugar - can be omitted but does make a big difference in flavor
- Garlic paste - can be replaced with 3/4 tsp garlic powder
