The most delicious sweet pineapple teriyaki glaze coats this chicken perfectly. It grills to juicy and tender perfection on the BBQ and will be one of the best things you grill this summer!
It was 90 degrees today. It is safe to say the rain has stopped and the heat of summer is here. We enjoyed every minute of it and had to celebrate with a barbecue of course. We love to grill at our house and I love to create delicious things to throw on the BBQ. But let me tell you this. If you only grill one thing this summer from the blog LET IT BE THIS!
I love my homemade teriyaki sauce recipe here on the blog. But since I also love pineapple I decided to add some pineapple to the recipe and the result was fantastic. It gave the sauce the perfect balance of sweet. And I also grilled some fresh pineapple with the chicken and served it with the chicken.
Oh my gosh. I am not even joking when I tell you this is one of the best things that I have ever grilled in my life. Teriyaki is such a classic loved sauce and with my little twist I made it even better. This is a recipe that is even picky eater approved. You will love it and it needs to be made this summer!
