Making the perfect pineapple chicken on the grill
Grilling chicken thighs and pineapple is pretty easy, but we do have a few tips and tricks:
Use a high powered blender like a Blendtec or Vitamix to make the marinade. It helps to make the marinade smooth and creamy and stick to the chicken thighs.Get the chicken in the marinade before you start the grill or prep any other part of the recipe. By the time the grill is hot, you’ll be ready to go!You can save time by using pre-sliced canned pineapple. You can even use the juice from the can in the marinade!Pineapple sliced into rounds is best for grilling. Just place the rounds directly on the grill and carefully flip them with a spatula. Or, you could cut them into chunks and use a grill pan. Don’t forget your side dish! Pre-make your rice or whip up a quick batch of cauliflower rice to serve with the BBQ chicken and pineapple.
