Hawaiian Chicken


This is an old favourite with the family.  My sister Angie was the first to make this.  I enjoyed it so much I had to get the recipe.  I serve this dish with rice pilaf, which I put in the oven at the same time.  While it’s baking, I curl up with a good book and let dinner cook itself.

Hawaiian Chicken

  • 1 pkg chicken thighs, or drumsticks, or both  ( about 10 pieces )
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 2 heaping tablespoons brown sugar
  • 4 tablespoons soya sauce
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 can pineapple tidbits

  2. Mix all ingredients together in bowl.
  3. Put chicken in a baking dish, cover with the sauce.
  4. Bake in oven @ 350 for 40 minutes.  After 20 minutes baste chicken with sauce and continue cooking
