Polynesian Chicken - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    3/4 cup pineapple juice (sweetened or unsweetened)
    2 tablespoons honey
    1 tablespoon dijon-style mustard
    1 tablespoon soy sauce
    1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
    1 garlic clove, minced
    12 chicken thighs (skinned if desired) or 12 chicken drumsticks (skinned if desired)
    salt
    fresh ground pepper
Preparation
    For the sauce, in a small saucepan combine pineapple juice, honey, mustard, soy sauce, cornstarch and garlic. Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir for 1 more minute. Remove from heat. Transfer half of the sauce to a bowl; cover and set aside.
    Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. For charcoal grill arrange medium-hot coals around drip pan. Test for medium heat above the pan. Place chicken on grill rack over drip pan. Cover; grill until chicken is no longer pink or 165 degrees Farenheit, brushing frequently with remaining sauce during the last 5 minutes of grilling. (For gas grill preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Adjust for indirect cooking. Grill as above.).
    Note: If you do not have cornstarch on hand, you can substitute with 3 Tsp of all purpose flour.
