For the BBQ Pineapple Glaze
  • 1 cup Crushed pineapple undrained

Method

  4. Grill chicken for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until almost cooked through.
  5. During the last 5 minutes of grilling, generously brush the chicken with the BBQ pineapple glaze. Continue to grill, turning once, until the chicken is cooked through and the glaze is caramelized.
  6. Remove chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Serve this BBQ Pineapple Chicken with your favorite summer sides like coleslaw, potato salad, or grilled vegetables.
