Instructions
-
Prepare the Baking Pan:
- Line a baking pan with aluminum foil to ensure easy cleanup.
- Lightly spray the foil with oil or cooking spray (such as Pam) to prevent sticking.
-
Bake the Chicken:
- Arrange the chicken legs and thighs on the prepared baking pan.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes until the chicken starts to brown.
-
Prepare the Sauce:
- While the chicken is baking, combine the bread and butter pickles, pickle juice, ketchup, soy sauce, and brown sugar in a microwave-safe bowl.
- Cook the mixture on high in the microwave until it reaches a boil. Alternatively, you can heat the mixture in a saucepan on the stove over medium heat until boiling.
-
Add the Sauce to the Chicken:
- Once the chicken has baked for 20-25 minutes, carefully pour the boiling sauce over the chicken pieces, ensuring they are well coated.
-
Continue Baking:
- Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (163°C) and continue baking the chicken for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the sauce has thickened.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve the flavorful Haitian Chicken hot, with the delicious sauce spooned over the top.
