Ingredients

  • ¼cupbutter

  • cupketchup

  • ¼cupbrown sugar

  • 2teaspoonscornstarch

  • ¼cupvinegar

  • 1teaspoonsalt

  • 1teaspoonsoy sauce

  • ½teaspoonWorcestershire sauce

  • 1(9 ounce) cancrushed pineapple

  • 3poundsassorted chicken pieces such as breasts, thighs, wings, and drumsticks

Cooking Directions

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

  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. Arrange chicken pieces in a 9×13-inch baking dish; pour pineapple sauce over top.

  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).

Cook’s Note

I usually double the sauce since my family really enjoys it. I also use slightly less butter than what is called for, and it still comes out great.
