Pineapple = Polynesian Chicken

Well after the false start of a banana pineapple cake - the testers only gave it a 5/10 as it was 'ok but didn't taste like much' on Saturday I started over again with a main dish recipe today and this one was such a hit that I only have the under construction photo to share because the meal disappeared so quickly there wasn't time to snap a pic. It was given a 8 or 9 out of 10 by Tim who had seconds so that's as good a record as you're going to get. I combined a couple of recipes to come up with this one which was economical as I used drumsticks:

Polynesian Chicken

Chicken pieces
1 can pineapple chunks (drain and reserve juice)
1 can mushrooms
1 onion finely diced
3 cloves garlic finely diced

1 tbsp oil

1 tbsp brown sugar

1 tbsp mustard (I used whole grain dijon)

2 tbsp soya sauce

1/2 cup wine or wine vinegar

1 tsp ginger

Place chicken pieces in 9 x 13 baking dish
Sprinkle pineapple, mushrooms, onion and garlic over the top
Mix last six ingredients with reserved pineapple juice and pour over top
Cover dish with foil and bake in preheated oven x 450F x 1 hr, reduce heat to 400F and bake x 1 hr, then remove foil and brown x 10 min.
