How to Make Roasted Pineapple Habanero Chicken (What to Expect)

This recipe is all about building flavor first, then letting the oven do the work.

You’ll start by seasoning and marinating your chicken so every bite is infused with that sweet and spicy base. As it roasts, the pineapple naturally caramelizes and the habanero heat mellows into a balanced, bold flavor.

The result is tender, juicy chicken coated in a rich, slightly sticky glaze with just the right kick.
