Fiery "Fried" Chicken

Fiery "Fried" Chicken

The distinctive flavor of this oven-fried chicken comes from chili-garlic sauce and pineapple juice. It's a great choice for weeknight dinners when you're tired of the "same ol' chicken recipes."

Yield: Makes 4 servings

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon chili-garlic sauce (found in the international aisle of most supermarkets)
• 3 tablespoons pineapple juice
• 4 6-ounce boneless, skinless chicken breasts 
• 3/4 cup bread crumbs
• Kosher salt
• 3 tablespoons canola oil

Preparation

1. Heat oven to 450° F.
   
   In a large bowl, combine the chili-garlic sauce and pineapple juice. Add the chicken and toss to coat.
   
   In a separate bowl, combine the bread crumbs, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and the oil. Working with 1 piece at a time, coat the chicken in the bread crumb mixture and transfer to a baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining breasts. Bake until cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes.
