Steps:
- Quarter each chicken thigh, then tip into a large bowl. Season well with the salt, then pour over the buttermilk and give it all a good mix. Cover and chill overnight.
- Combine the rice flour, cornflour, baking powder, paprika, garlic granules, dried oregano, 1 tsp salt and ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper in a medium bowl. Drop in the brined chicken pieces, four at a time, tossing lightly to coat well. Gently shake off any excess, then arrange on a baking tray.
- Heat the oil in a large, deep saucepan (ensuring it is no more than two-thirds full) to 170C or until a cube of bread dropped in browns within 30 seconds. Fry the chicken in small batches for 3 mins at a time until golden and cooked through. This will help keep the oil at the right temperature and won't overcrowd the pan.
- Remove the fried chicken pieces to a clean tea towel using tongs to drain off any excess oil, then transfer to a wire rack to ensure they stay crisp. Alternatively, put the fried chicken on a clean baking tray and keep warm and crisp in a low oven. When all the chicken pieces have been fried, drop the oregano leaves into the hot oil and fry until crisp, about 30 seconds- 1 min. Arrange the chicken on a serving platter, scatter over the fried oregano and serve with the pineapple sauce (see 'goes well with', below).

Tips:
- Use fresh pineapple: Fresh pineapple has a brighter flavor and more vibrant color than canned pineapple. If you're using canned pineapple, be sure to drain it well and rinse it before using.
- Brown the chicken first: Browning the chicken before adding it to the sauce helps to develop its flavor and create a richer sauce.
- Use a good quality soy sauce: Soy sauce is a key ingredient in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a soy sauce that is brewed naturally and has a deep, rich flavor.
- Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken is a delicate protein, so it's important not to overcook it. Overcooked chicken will be tough and dry.
- Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it's made. The sauce will thicken as it cools, so it's best to enjoy it while it's still hot and fresh.
Conclusion:
Chicken with pineapple sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover chicken. The combination of sweet pineapple, savory soy sauce, and tangy vinegar creates a flavorful sauce that is sure to please everyone at the table.
