By ldelmas

Ingredients

• Chicken:
• 4 – 6 lb. whole chicken
• 1/4 tsp. paprika
• 1/4 cup pineapple juice
• 1/4 cup chicken stock
• 3 garlic cloves
• 1/2 cup red pepper chunks
• 1/2 cup green pepper chunks
• 1 cup pineapple chunks
• Salt and pepper
• Pineapple Glaze:
• 1 cup pineapple preserves
• 1/4 cup pineapple juice
• 1 Tbsp. lime juice
• 1/2 Tbsp. light brown sugar
• 1 Tbsp. soy sauce
• 1/4 tsp. ground ginger
• Pinch ground cayenne pepper
• 1 Tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Season chicken inside and out with salt, pepper, and paprika. Fill the roaster's seasoning well with the pineapple juice, stock, and garlic cloves and place chicken on top. Roast chicken for 45 minutes.

While the chicken is cooking, prepare the glaze. Add the preserves, juices, brown sugar, soy sauce, ginger, and cayenne to a small pot. Whisk to combine over low heat until ingredients are well incorporated, about 5 minutes. The consistency should be thick. Whisk in the cilantro just before glazing.
