INGREDIENTS
2 pounds chicken drummettes (or party wings - a combination of drummettes and wings)
1 1/2 cups pineapple juice
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons pineapple, finely minced
1/4 cup bacon, cooked and crumbled
DIRECTIONS
Preheat the oven to 450ºF.
Pat the chicken pieces dry with a paper towel, then place them single-layer, skin-side up in an oven-proof baking dish and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake for 25 minutes then drain the chicken grease.
While the chicken is baking, make the sauce:
Combine the cornstarch with the pineapple juice until it's dissolved. Add the pineapple juice mixture to a small saucepan along with the remaining ingredients. Bring the sauce to a boil, reduce the heat to medium, and simmer for 3-5 minutes until thickened.
Pour the sauce over the chicken and bake for another 15 minutes. Serve with steamed rice and a vegetable or enjoy as an appetizer.
