Place soy sauce, sugar and any optional ingredients into a stew pot and bring to a boil.

Bringing the ingredients to a boil.

Add chicken, and cover with a lid.

Reduce temperature to simmer, cooking until chicken is nice and tender (usually 45–60 minutes). A good sign that the meat is done is that it will separate from the bone easily.

Serve over rice.

Optional: Garnish with chopped green onions, macadamia nuts, and/or pineapple slices

Substitutions:
Add 1 can unsweetened pineapple chunks, with liquid. Reduce soy sauce to ¾ cup.
Substitute ¾ cup honey for sugar.
