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.
