Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (Approximately 5 minutes)
02
StepIn a mixing bowl, whisk together the barbecue sauce, crushed pineapple (with its juice for added moisture and flavor), garlic powder, and chili powder until well combined. This vibrant mixture will be the key to our chicken's succulence. (Approximately 3 minutes)
03
StepArrange the chicken leg quarters in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Generously pour the barbecue sauce mixture over the chicken, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated. Seal the dish tightly with aluminum foil to lock in the moisture and create a steamy environment for tenderizing the chicken. (Approximately 5 minutes)
04
StepBake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, allowing the chicken to become incredibly tender and infused with the barbecue-pineapple essence.
05
StepRemove the chicken from the oven and let it cool, still covered, for 1 hour. This resting period allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in even more succulent meat.
06
StepPreheat an outdoor grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grate to prevent sticking.
07
StepCarefully place the baked chicken on the hot grill. Cook, turning occasionally, until browned and slightly caramelized on each side, about 10 to 15 minutes. The grilling process adds a delightful smoky char that complements the sweet and savory flavors.
