Wash, clean and season chicken with black pepper and salts in a mixing bowl. Cover for at least 1 hour.
When ready to bake, pre-heat oven to 350 degrees and place chicken in a baking pan, cover with foil.
Bake for 40 minutes. Make your teriyaki sauce in the meantime.
After 40 minutes, remove foil and drain drippings into a small pot. Baste with some teriyaki sauce and bake another 20 minutes.
Remove once again, turn chicken, baste other side and bake another 20 minutes.
Turn once more and pour remains sauce on top and pineapple pieces and bake another 10 minutes or desired color. You may turn up the heat if desired to 375 or 400 degrees.
You may add drippings through baking a small amount at a time as needed to prevent from drying out or at the end to bring up the sauce or gravy.
Combine all sauce ingredients in a small pot except pineapples, cornstarch and water. Place on medium heat. Bring to a gentle boil.
Dilute cornstarch and water and add to sauce when it starts to boil. Stir until slightly thickens about 1-2 minutes and remove from heat.
**This can be served with sides of choice such as white rice, bakedĀ macaroni and cheese or vegetables or Lo-Mein.
