Baked Pineapple Chicken

[Peasie]

Who remember the pineapple-chicken-for-Sunday dinner phase? There was a time when when variations on this recipe was popular in Kingston households ... at least that was my experience

Ingredients:

1 can (20 ounces) sliced pineapple in juice
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons chopped green onion
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
2 frying chickens, quartered (about 5 to 6 pounds chicken pieces)

Preparation:
Drain pineapple, reserving 1/4 cup of the juice. Set pineapple slices aside. In a roasting pan, combine reserved pineapple juice, soy sauce, chopped green onion, ginger, and garlic powder. Add chicken pieces, turning to coat thoroughly. Arrange the chicken skin-side up; bake at 375° for 55 to 65 minutes, or until chicken is tender and juices run clear. Add pineapple slices to the roasting pan and cook 5 minutes longer.

Arrange chicken on a serving platter with pineapple; skim off excess fat and spoon juices over chicken and pineapple.

This chicken recipe serves 8.

Re: Baked Pineapple Chicken

Made it and it was good Here's my version:

1 cut up chicken. Wash and dry chicken. (I like to use kosher or halal chicken or else brine it myself.) Season chicken with garlic powder, onion powder, jerk rub, little soy sauce, little scotch bonnet sauce all in a stainless steel bowl. Add one can pineapple chunks in its own juice. Mix up everything. Let marinade for at least an hour.

Pre-heat oven to 325 F. Grease roasting pan with Pam spray. Remove chicken from marinade placing pieces in pan skin side up. To the reserved marinade add little cooking oil, ketchup, mango pepper sauce and mix everything. Pour over chicken. Put in oven and bake. When cooked, put chicken under broiler for 5 minutes to give it a nice crisp finish.
