Take-out Tuesday, Hassleback Hawaiian Chicken

Today’s recipe is literally easier than picking up take out

4 ingredients, boneless chicken thighs, pineapple, prosciutto and BBQ sauce

Make 4-5 deep cuts across the chicken thighs

Stuff thinly sliced prosciutto into the cuts

{I left 2 thighs whole for Super Boy and Big E, didn’t know if they’d go for the prosciutto}

Top generously with drained pineapple tidbits, or chop up fresh pineapple

Slather BBQ sauce overall, I used Sweet Baby Ray’s Hawaiian BBQ sauce

Bake at 375 degrees for about 50 minutes, basting with pan juices half way through

🍍 Super easy and delicious!  🍍

    This looks tasty. I just made some and hassleback chicken and the process just retains the flavours so well and keeps the chicken moist
