TIPS FOR MAKING THE BEST PINEAPPLE BBQ CHICKEN

  • Once the chicken has been browned in butter and oil and cooked in reserved pineapple juice, the sauce is then poured over the chicken.
  • Salt and pepper both sides of chicken before cooking.
  • Make sure the tops of the chicken are well browned before turning the chicken the first time. This should be done at a medium to high heat.
  • We always use pineapple slices vs. pineapple tidbits. The tidbits always seem chewy compared to the softer and juicer pineapple rings.
  • Use as much or as little pineapple as your family likes. We typically cut up 2-3 rings and then use the rest for snacks or lunches.

Use a large skillet with a lid to cook this chicken recipe. There should be more than enough room for all of the chicken to cook at once. Unfold the chicken before cooking, making sure the top flat parts are well browned.
