ingredients

1/4 cup flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon celery salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1 can (20 ounce size) pineapple rings packed in unsweetened juice
1/2 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons sugar
3 pounds whole chicken, cut up or bone-in chicken breasts
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons corn starch

directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

On a plate or pie pan combine the flour, salt, nutmeg, celery salt and garlic salt. In a separate bowl combine the juice from the pineapple slices, soy sauce and sugar. Reserve pineapple slices.

Dredge chicken pieces in flour mixture and set aside.

In an ovenproof fry pan, heat a small amount of vegetable oil and brown the chicken pieces on both sides. Pour the pineapple juice mixture over the browned chicken pieces. Bake 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours, depending on size of chicken breasts. When pierced, the chicken juice should run clear.

While chicken is baking heat butter in a fry pan and saute pineapple rings until golden brown. When chicken is tender remove pieces to a plate and keep warm.

In small bowl mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons cold water. Add to sauce and simmer until sauce thickens. Serve with hot white rice.
