Spicy Pineapple Chicken

I seem to be on a pineapple kick.

Ingredients:

4 chicken legs, split
1 fresh pineapple, cut in spears
1 red onion, sliced

Dry Rub

1/4 tsp fresh ground pepper
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp chili powder
1 tbsp smoked paprika

Glaze

1 cup pineapple juice
1 tsp sriracha sauce
1 tsp fresh ginger
1 tsp cornstarch
salt and pepper

Rinse and pat dry the chicken. Lay sliced onions on the bottom of a baking dish. Mix the rub ingredients together and completely coat the chicken pieces, then lay them on top of the onion.

Place pineapple spears between then cover dish with foil. You can cook right away or leave in fridge a few hours for more penetration of the flavours.

Bake covered at 400F for 30 minutes.

While cooking prepare the glaze. Boil the pineapple juice with sriracha. Mix cornstarch with 1/2 tsp of cold juice or water then whisk into the pineapple juice along with ginger, salt and pepper. Heat until slightly thickened.

Remove foil after 30 minutes. Spoon on some of the glaze and return to the oven uncovered for about 30 minutes or until chicken is cooked.

Serve topped with onions and more glaze.
