DIRECTIONS

1. To Make Glaze: In a medium bowl combine the ketchup, pineapple juice, syrup, rum, mustard and garlic. Season with salt and pepper to taste and mix well.
2. Place chicken pieces in a lightly oiled 9x13 inch baking dish; brush both sides with prepared glaze, using about 1/2 of the glaze. Cover dish and refrigerate to marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight. Also, refrigerate remaining glaze.
3. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
4. Lightly brush chicken pieces on one side with some of the reserved glaze and bake uncovered in preheated oven for about 25 minutes. Turn pieces, brush with remaining glaze and bake for another 25 minutes or until chicken is tender.
5. Preheat oven to broil.
6. Put chicken under broiler and lightly brown on both sides, about 2 to 3 minutes each side. (Note: Watch chicken carefully, as this 'sugary' glaze burns easily!)

I served it with homemade Pineapple, Black Bean & Corn Salsa (the recipe is here in SparkRecipes) and some baked potato slices. DELISH!!

    If you don't want to use the rum, you might be able to substitute rum extract, though you'd have to play with the amount to get the flavor you want. - 7/19/10

    This was delicious! Thanks for sharing. I made wild rice and pineapple slices with it. I will make this one of my main meals. - 4/20/10

    Very good flavor. I don't keep alcohol around the house so unless I could replace that, it won't get made around my house. Thanks for the recipe. - 5/17/08
