Roscoe Jenkins- Master Chef 2

Since my staff isn't being fed by the school this week, it was my turn to cook dinner. I opted to make BBQ chicken because I have had a craving for it for a long time. The recipe (sort of) is below. I didn't take pictures of the entire process because I needed to charge my camera batteries. I did take a picture of the final product though. It turned out pretty damn good. Seriously, someone give me a medal.

I thought that it seemed a tad bit boring to just use regular BBQ sauce. I was planning on making homemade BBQ sauce and asked my friend for her recipe. I wasn't sure how it was going to work with oven baked chicken, so I decided to go a different route. I got a bottle of honey BBQ sauce and a can of pineapple (the can I got had only fresh pineapple juice and it wasn't in syrup). I put some of the BBQ sauce into a mixing bowl and added the juice from the can of pineapple. I mixed that together, put it on the chicken and baked the chicken for about an  hour. After that hour, I took the pieces of pineapple and put them on top of the chicken and baked it for another 15-20 minutes. 

As a side dish, I made quinoa. I haven't had quinoa in a really long time and wanted to make it and thought this was a great time to do. You can do almost anything with quinoa. I love it! I toasted the quinoa and then cooked it in chicken stock. I mixed that together with chopped onion and garlic, lemon juice, parsley, thyme, and salt. I had a little bit too much onion and I forgot that I didn't like raw onion so it wasn't my favorite thing ever, but it was decent. And quinoa is one of the best foods (if not the best food you can eat) so it was a winning situation no matter what.

Of course, you can't have dinner without a vegetable. I just made corn from a bag and added butter, salt and pepper to it. Nothing fancy :)
