Chicken Waikiki

A 1960s throwback, but we loved it whenever we could talk Ania into making it.

  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 2 chicken thighs
  • 2 chicken legs
  • ½ cup flour
  • ⅓ cup oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 16-ounce can chunk pineapple
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • ¾ cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • ¼ teaspoon ginger
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 green pepper, sliced in rings

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat chicken with flour and brown in oil, then place in 9 x 13 baking pan skin side up. Season with salt and pepper.

Drain pineapple, reserving juice; add water to make 1 ¼ cups liquid. In saucepan, combine sugar, cornstarch, pineapple juice, vinegar, ginger, soy sauce and chicken broth. Bring to boiling, stirring constantly for 2 minutes. Pour sauce over chicken.

Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes; add pineapple and green pepper. Bake an additional 30 minutes or until chicken is tender. Serve with cooked rice.
