Grilled Pineapple BBQ Chicken is an easy and delicious dinner that's perfect for busy summer weeknights! This 3 ingredient grilled chicken will have everyone fighting for seconds.
5-6chicken pieces(any cut will work- I used boneless skinless chicken thighs for these photos)
1teaspooncornstarch
1Tablespoon water
Instructions
Place chicken and pineapple rings into a large bowl or gallon zipper bag.
Mix together BBQ sauce and all the juice from the pineapple can until well combined. Pour over chicken and pineapple rings.
Cover and refrigerate for at least and hour to overnight.
When ready to cook remove from refrigerator. Spray the grill grates with cooking spray and preheat grill to around 375 degrees.
Place chicken on the grill cooking for around 5-7 minutes per side until there's a nice char (not burn!) and the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees and the pineapple until it has a slight char on each side.
While the chicken cooks, place the leftover marinade into a small saucepan and heat to a boil.
Boil for 3-4 minutes and then reduce heat and thicken with a slurry of cornstarch and water.
Remove chicken and pineapple to a plate and rest for a few minutes. Serve immediately with sauce on top.
