Island-Style Pineapple Chicken features tender baked chicken coated in a glossy pineapple-brown sugar glaze with hints of soy and Worcestershire for a balanced sweet-tangy bite. Butter enriches the sauce while crushed pineapple adds bright bursts of fruit throughout. Serve it for a weeknight dinner or casual gathering when you want a tropical twist that pairs well with rice or a simple salad.

1

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
2

Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the ketchup and brown sugar, stirring until the sugar dissolves. In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch into the vinegar until smooth, then pour it into the pan. Whisk in the salt, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce, and bring to a simmer while whisking constantly. Cook until thickened, about 2 minutes. Stir in the pineapple and remove from the heat.
3

Arrange the chicken pieces in a 9x13-inch baking dish; pour the pineapple sauce over the top.
4

Bake in the preheated oven until the sauce is bubbling and the chicken is browned and the juices run clear, about 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a thigh should register at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
