Notes
Marinate Chicken - Be patient and allow the chicken to sit in the marination for at least 2-hours. It is best if you marinate your chicken, cover it with a closed lid and refrigerate overnight.
Do Not turn often while grilling - One of the biggest mistakes we make while grilling is that we turn our chicken/meat to see if it is done. Don't do that. Just wait for a few minutes and then turn over to grill the other side as well.
Baste Chicken while Grilling - Generally, when we grill chicken, the chicken turns dry. So, it is super-important that you baste your chicken with the sauce at regular intervals.
Pineapple Juice - Do not choose sliced pineapple which is packed in heavy syrup. Choose pineapple juice that is packed in Pineapple juice.
MAKE AHEAD INSTRUCTIONSYes, you can. You can prepare the marinade. Pour the marinade and uncooked chicken pieces in a ziplock bag. Refrigerate for 2- days. Or else you can Freeze this for 2-months.When ready to cook, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight. And, the grill as per the recipe.
