Dry the chicken after cleaning.

Mix together half a cup of onion, two tablespoons of garlic, one teaspoon of teriyaki sauce, one teaspoon of worcestershire sauce, and a quarter cup of melted coconut oil in a bowl.

Add one third cup of beige and tina rin seasoning, one teaspoon of paprika, one teaspoon of rosemary, one teaspoon of parsley, one teaspoon of oregano, and one teaspoon of chicken broth to the mixture.

Rub the seasoning mixture all over the chicken, including under the skin.

Place the seasoned chicken in a large foil pan.

Add butter on top of the chicken pieces, breaking it up to help it melt down.

Do not add water to the pan as the chicken will release its own juices.

Place the pan in the oven and cook for 45 minutes to an hour, checking after 30 minutes and basting with the liquid from the bottom if necessary.

For the barbecue sauce, combine a quarter cup of pineapple juice, a quarter cup of vinegar, one tablespoon of black pepper, one tablespoon of worcestershire sauce, one tablespoon of turmeric, one tablespoon of paprika, two cups of ketchup, half a cup of onion, quarter cup of sugar, two tablespoons of garlic, one tablespoon of molasses, and one tablespoon of honey in a pot.

Melt one tablespoon of coconut oil in a pan and sauté the garlic until fragrant, then add the onions and cook until softened.

Blend the sautéed garlic and onions with the pineapple juice until smooth, then add the blended mixture back to the pot with the other sauce ingredients and mix well.
