INSTRUCTIONS
1.
Heat
a large skillet over medium. Once hot add the cooking oil and swirl to coat the
surface. While waiting for the skillet to heat, season both sides of the chicken
thighs with a pinch of salt and pepper.
2.
Once
the skillet is hot and the oil is shimmering, add the chicken thighs and cook
until golden brown on each side and cooked through. Remove the cooked chicken
to a clean plate.
3.
While
the chicken is cooking, drain and reserve the juice from the canned pineapple
slices.
4.
After
removing the chicken from the skillet, turn the heat down to low and add about
1/2 cup of the reserved pineapple juice. Stir to dissolve and loosen the
browned chicken bits from the bottom of the skillet. Once everything has been
loosened from the skillet, add the BBQ sauce and stir until a thick sauce
forms. Taste the sauce and add salt if needed. if your sauce gets too thick, simply
add another splash of the reserved pineapple juice.
5.
Add
the cooked chicken thighs and pineapple slices to the skillet, dredging both sides
in the pineapple BBQ sauce. Spoon any
excess sauce over the chicken.
6.
Adjust
your oven's rack so that the skillet will be about 6 inches from the broiler unit
and turn the broiler on to high. Transfer the skillet to the oven and broil for
about 5 minutes, or just until the BBQ sauce caramelizes on the edges of the chicken
and pineapple. if you don't have an oven safe skillet** you can transfer the chicken,
pineapple, and ALL of the sauce to a casserole dish for broiling, or skip the
broiling step and enjoy as is.
7.
After
broiling, sprinkle the sliced jalapeño and green onion over top, and then
serve.
