Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Pat the chicken halves dry with paper towels and place them in a roasting pan.

  2. 2

    Season the Chicken

    Rub the chicken with olive oil, then season with garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme.

  3. 3

    Roast the Chicken

    Roast in the preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the skin is crispy.

  4. 4

    Make the Sweet Pineapple Chili Sauce

    In a saucepan, combine pineapple juice and chili sauce. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until thickened.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Mashed Potatoes

    Prepare your mashed potatoes according to your favorite recipe or package instructions.

  6. 6

    Cook the Green Beans

    Steam or blanch the green beans in boiling water for about 3-5 minutes until tender but still crisp. Drain and season with salt.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Once the chicken is done roasting, let it rest for a few minutes before carving. Serve with the sweet pineapple chili sauce, mashed potatoes, and green beans.
