    I love pineapple and chicken, so this is a great combination for me! The marinade is really good - and I didn't even let it sit long enough - next time I will, but it was good anyway. Thanks for sharing!

    Spicy Chicken With Grilled Pineapple, In the spring and summertime, I love grilling This is one of my favorite meals with two of my favorite foods: chicken and pineapple The total time includes 8 hours for the chicken to marinate , I love pineapple and chicken, so this is a great combination for me! The marinade is really good – and I didn’t even let it sit long enough – next time I will, but it was good anyway Thanks for sharing!, Ive fallen in love with this recipie – its a family favorite now To save the frustration of cutting up a pinapple we use a jar of pineapple rings I add some of the juice from the rings into the marinaide and i highly recomend keeping some reserve to brush on the chicken while cooking I add alittle bit extra brown sugar to the mixture – i dont suggest trying to taste the marinaide! but dont let that put you off I love mixing the cooked pineapple chopped up with the chicken Alltogether the best chicken meal ive ever had!
