Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup pineapple juice
  • 6 Tbsp BBQ sauce
  • 6 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 Tbsp chili powder
  • 1 Tbsp red pepper flakes
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, whisk together pineapple juice, brown sugar, BBQ sauce, chili powder, and red pepper flakes.
  • Place the chicken in a gallon ziplock bag and pour the marinade over it.
  • Seal the bag and refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours.
  • Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill until done, about 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165ºF.
  • For extra spice, set aside 1/4 cup of marinade to brush on the chicken before removing it from the grill.
  • If grilling isn't an option, cook the chicken in a skillet for 3 to 4 minutes per side. Then, transfer it to a baking sheet and bake at 400ºF for 10 minutes.

Notes

For a tropical twist, grill some pineapple slices alongside the chicken for a delicious side.
