I love this baked chicken with pineapple and brown sugar. The sauce is sweet and tangy! I serve it over rice and accompany it with green beans. This recipe was handed down to me from my mother-in-law many years ago.

Ingredients

  • 0.25 cups butter
  • 0.33 cups ketchup
  • 0.25 cups brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 0.25 cups vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 0.5 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 can crushed pineapple , 9 ounce
  • 3 pounds assorted chicken pieces such as breasts , thighs, wings, and drumsticks

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

  2. 2

    Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add ketchup and brown sugar and stir until sugar dissolves. Whisk cornstarch into vinegar in a small bowl until smooth, then pour into the pan. Whisk in salt, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce and bring to a simmer while continuing to whisk constantly. Cook until thickened, about 2 minutes. Stir in pineapple and remove from the heat.

  3. 3

    Arrange chicken pieces in a 9x13-inch baking dish; pour pineapple sauce over top.

  4. 4

    Bake in the preheated oven until the sauce is bubbling and the chicken is browned and the juices run clear, about 45 minutes. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a thigh should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
