PINEAPPLE SRIRACHA GLAZED CHICKEN QUARTERS

Steps:

• 1.Preheat oven to 400°

• 5.Place the slices of pineapple in and around the chicken quarters in the pan, and pour whatever juice is left in the can around the chicken.
• 6.Cover with foil tightly and pop in the oven for 25-30 minutes, then remove the foil, place it back in the oven for an additional 15-20 minutes, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. I use a thermometer to be sure. Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
• 7.In the last 15 minutes of the chicken cooking, make the glaze.
• 8.Begin by bringing the pineapple juice to a rolling boil in a small saucepan. Continue the rolling boil until the juice has reduced by half and has begun to thicken. Stir in the sriracha.
• 9.Scoop out about 2-3 TB of the juice and mix together with the cornstarch. Pour back into the pan, whisking continuously until thicken. Sprinkle in a dash of salt and pepper, stir together, and remove from heat.
• 10.To serve, using a pastry brush, rub the glaze all over the chicken, Enjoy!

PINEAPPLE GLAZED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Brown chicken: Pat chicken dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Heat oil in 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until just smoking. Brown chicken lightly on both sides, about 4 minutes total.
• Assemble glaze: Drain pineapple chunks, reserving 1/2 cup juice. Whisk reserved pineapple juice, honey, soy sauce, curry powder, and cayenne together.
• Simmer chicken in glaze: Add pineapple juice mixture and pineapple chunks to skillet and bring to simmer. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until chicken is no longer pink in center and thickest part registers 160 degrees F on instant-read thermometer, 8 to 12 minutes.
• Rest chicken and simmer glaze: Transfer chicken to serving platter, cover with foil, and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Return glaze to simmer and cook, uncovered, until thickened slightly and glossy, about 8 minutes.
• Finish glaze: Add accumulated chicken juices to glaze. Whisk cornstarch and vinegar together until smooth, then whisk into glaze. Continue to simmer glaze until thick and syrupy, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Pour glaze over chicken, sprinkle with toasted almonds, and serve.
• Note: To toast the 1/4 cup almonds, put them in a dry skillet over medium heat. Shake the skillet occasionally to prevent scorching and toast until they are lightly browned and fragrant, 3 to 8 minutes.
