What's for dinner?

Per Angie's request, here is the recipe from Ty's birthday dinner. It is so quick and easy and delicious, too. It is a family recipe from my Grandma who lives in Hawaii. Enjoy!

Grandma Holokahi's Sweet and Sour Chicken with Pineapple
5 lbs. chicken thighs (remove skin and chop in half)
1/2 c. soy sauce
1/2 c. brown sugar
1/3 c. apple-cider vinegar
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 large can of pineapple chunks

Combine all ingredients (add juice from the pineapple but reserve the pineapple chunks for later) and simmer in pot for 45 min. to 1 hr. Remove chicken from sauce. Mix 1 heaping Tablespoon cornstarch with water and add to sauce. Let it boil until thickened. Add chicken and pineapple chunks to the sauce and serve over rice.
