Ingredients

NOTE! This recipe must be made the day before.

3 pounds chicken pieces of your choice
1 cup sweet onion, sliced thin
1 46-ounce can pineapple juice
1/2 cup rum
1/4 cup peanut oil
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon grated lemon rind
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger root
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Directions

Wipe the chicken with paper towel. Place the chicken halves in a large, tightly covered bowl along with the onion slices. Mix the pineapple juice and rum together; pour over chicken. Put in the refrigerator for a least 24 hours.
Next day, pour off the pineapple-rum marinade and reserve. Mix together the peanut oil, soy sauce, wine, sugar, lemon juice, lemon rind, ginger, salt and pepper. Shake vigorously, and set aside while you arrange the chicken in a large shallow baking pan. Distribute the oil mixture once more and pour over the chicken. Put in the 325 degree F oven for 1 hour.
Then add 1 cup of the rum pineapple mixture to the chicken. Return to the 325 degree oven for 1 additional hour, or until the chicken is tender enough to pierce with a fork in the thickest portions. Serve with hot fluffy rice.

Comments

If you want to go completely Hawaiian, garnish with 3/4 cup toasted coconut and fresh pineapple slices.
