1

Rinse the chicken and trim away some of the fat.

2

Season the chicken thighs with Laurie's seasoning salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and accent, ensuring they are well coated.

3

Cover the seasoned chicken with saran wrap and place in the refrigerator to marinate for about 30 minutes to 1 hour.

4

Prepare the sauce by combining pineapple juice, lemon juice, red bell pepper, mango, chili, jalapeno peppers, crushed red pepper flakes, sugar, and cornstarch slurry in a bowl.

5

Mix the sauce ingredients together until well combined, which takes about 15 minutes.

6

After marinating, place the chicken thighs in a 12 by 13 casserole dish and bake uncovered in the oven at 400°F for 30 minutes.

7

Optionally, use a turkey baster to remove about 90% of the broth from the dish to save for another recipe.

8

Flip the chicken thighs over and add more seasoning on the top half, including paprika and black pepper.

9

Return the chicken to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes.

10

Coat the chicken with the prepared glaze, ensuring it infuses into the chicken.
