Time 1h5m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/3 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/2 cup pineapple preserves
1/4 cup pineapple juice
3 tablespoons lime juice
1 teaspoon grated lime zest
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 (3 5/8 lb) roasting chickens, quartered

Steps:

Preheat grill for direct-heat cooking. Or position broiler rack so that top of meat on rack in pan is 3" from heat source; preheat broiler.
In pot, combine sugar, preserves, pineapple juice, lime juice, zest, garlic, and pepper flakes; over medium-high heat bring to a boil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat; cool.
Meanwhile, grill or broil chicken, turning once, 10 minutes per side. Brush chicken pieces with glaze. Continue grilling or broiling, turning once, until meat juices run clear when pierced with a fork, 7-10 minutes per side, brushing frequently with remaining glaze.
Let chicken stand 10 minutes before serving.
