Ingredients Required

• 4 large chicken breasts with or without the bone(your preference)
• 1 can of pineapple chunks (20 oz size) drained

• 1 jar of sweet and sour sauce (10 oz size)
• Salt and Pepper to taste

How To Make Your Cheeky Chicken With Rum

• Preheat your oven to around 375 degrees
• Lightly grease a baking tray or casserole dish and place the chicken pieces on the bottom
• Cover the tray/dish and bake for about 15 to 20 minutes. (If you are using boned pieces cook chicken with the bone part facing towards you)
• Meanwhile make yourself a cuba libra (rum and coke) while you are waiting for the chicken to bake
• Remove from the oven and turn over the chicken pieces
• Place the pineapple chunks around the chicken (save a little for garnishing later)
• Pour the sweet and sour sauce over the chicken pieces
• Here’s the best part - pour the rum over the chicken
• Add salt and pepper to taste, re-cover and then bake for a further 15 minutes

Just simply now garnish with remaining pineapple chunks and your cheeky chicken is ready to serve, great with rice or a simple green salad.
