Time 50m

Yield 2 to 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 2 pounds)
2 tablespoons canola oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup pineapple juice
3 cloves garlic, finely minced
3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons hot sauce
Cooked rice, for serving
Chopped cilantro, for serving, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Arrange the chicken thighs on a baking sheet, evenly spaced, and pat the skin dry with a paper towel. Rub the chicken skin with the oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast until the skin is golden brown and crispy and the meat registers 165 degrees F when an instant-read thermometer is inserted into the thickest part of the meat, 35 to 40 minutes.
  • To make the sauce, whisk together the pineapple juice, garlic, honey and hot sauce in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until reduced by half and slightly thickened, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Drizzle the sauce over the crispy chicken skin and serve warm with cooked rice. Sprinkle with cilantro if using.

EASY PINEAPPLE-DIJON GARLIC CHICKEN



Easy Pineapple-Dijon Garlic Chicken image

This complete recipe is made on top of the stove...Although the recipe states to use chicken breasts, it's still good using any part of chicken, extra good with drumsticks! If you are using bone-on chicken pieces, make certain to cook for a longer time, the time stated is for boneless and skinless chicken breasts. All ingredients may be doubled. This is good served with rice. I also have added in a sliced green bell pepper too.

"I found this recipe on the Internet," says Jayme Webb of Anderson, South Carolina. "It makes a wonderful quick, light meal and tastes great." This is a deliciously different kind of stir-fry without the usual Asian flavors.
