Ingredients
- 8 boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 1 pineapple sliced
Marinade
- ½ cup pineapple juice
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- ½ cup BBQ sauce
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Mix all the marinade ingredients together in a medium bowl. Submerge the chicken pieces in the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 1 hour, or preferably even longer (up to 8 hours) in the refrigerator so the flavors can truly meld. 8 boneless skinless chicken thighs, ½ cup pineapple juice, ¼ cup olive oil, 3 tablespoons soy sauce, ½ cup BBQ sauce, ¼ cup maple syrup, 1/2 teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- Once your chicken is fully marinated, prepare your grill by preheating it to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and shake off any excess. Place the chicken on the grill, and cook for about 10 minutes. Flip the chicken and cook for another 10 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), and the meat is cooked through.
- Grill the pineapple slices alongside the chicken for a garnish that is both pretty and delicious. 1 pineapple

- Before you begin marinating those tender gems of poultry, make sure to pat the chicken dry with a paper towel. This will help the marinade to adhere properly, leading to a more flavorful result.
