  1. In the middle of putting this together I realized I we used the last of the soy sauce we had … off to the junk drawer I went and there was the graveyard of little packets from take out meals gone by … in case anyone needs to know, 14 packets of soy sauce = 1/2 cup. :: smile :: Smells so good, can’t wait to taste it.

  2. I used frozen pineapple and it still turned out delicious….although I imagine there’s a bit more sweetness from the canned due to juice. We didn’t miss it. Made it in pressure cooker in 40 minutes and used split breasts and drumsticks. Meat was falling off bone–loved the flavor combo.

  3. Could you use frozen pineapple? I do not like to use cans and already have a bag of frozen pineapple:)

  4. Boneless chicken will cook faster! So you can check it at about 1.5 hours if you’re cooking on high.

  5. Is there a reason why the recipe calls for both breasts and thighs? I don’t mind using both but wonder if I can just use all of the same type. 🙂
