Time 1h10m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 small chicken thighs, with skin and bone, trimmed of excess fat
2 teaspoons salt
1 1/4 teaspoons paprika
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, halved lengthwise, then cut lengthwise into 1/4 inch wide strips
6 medium carrots, cut diagonally into 1 inch pieces
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons mild honey
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh flat leaf parsley
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh coriander

Steps:

  • Pat chicken dry. Stir together 1 1/2 tsp salt with paprika, cinnamon and pepper. Rub onto chicken.
  • Heat oil and brown chicken in 2 batches, turning over once, about 10 minutes per batch.
  • Transfer browned chicken to a plate.
  • Discard all but 3 TBS of fat from the skillet and add onion and carrots. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 tsp salt and pepper to taste. Cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally until onion softens and begins to brown, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring 1 minute longer.
  • Return chicken to skillet, skin side up, nestling it into vegetables. Stir together honey, water, lemon juice until blended and add to skillet, then cook over moderately low heat, covered, until chicken is cooked through and carrots are tender, 25 to 30 minutes. If necessary skim fat from sauce, then add salt to taste.
  • Sprinkle with herbes just before serving.

This recipe was a great starting point, but I made a few changes to suit my taste. I used chicken breasts instead of thighs, and I added some chopped green bell pepper and onion to the sauce. I also used a little less sugar and more vinegar. The chic

This dish was a bit too sweet for me, but I still enjoyed it. The chicken was tender and the sauce was flavorful. I would recommend using less pineapple juice in the sauce if you don't like your food too sweet.

This recipe was easy to follow and the results were amazing. The chicken was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the sauce was the perfect balance of sweet and sour. I will definitely be making this again.
