Baked Pineapple Chicken

Although there are many "pineapple chicken" recipes on 'zaar, I came up with another version that I "tweaked" to our liking. This recipe has minimal prep, but requires time to marinate in the refrigerator. The amount of garlic and the sweet red chili sauce give this dish it's zing. Easy to prepare. *Note* "prep time" does not include marinade time.
