How to Make Sriracha Pineapple Grilled Chicken

This marinade is effortless to make with only 5 ingredients. Place chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag. Gently pound the chicken to an even thickness with a meat mallet. Set aside.

In a medium bowl, whisk together pineapple juice, sriracha, BBQ sauce, honey, and dijon mustard. Season with salt and black pepper. Pour marinade over the chicken. Seal the bag and place it in the refrigerator for a few hours up to overnight.

When ready to eat, remove the chicken from the marinade and cook on the grill until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165ºF. Garnish with fresh parsley.

Helpful Tips & Frequently Asked Questions

You can use this marinade on any cut of chicken – chicken breasts, chicken tenders, chicken thighs, chicken wings, or chicken drumsticks/legs.
You can use boneless or bone-in chicken. Adjust the cooking time to ensure an internal temperature of 165ºF.
I suggest pounding the chicken breasts to an even thickness. We put the chicken in a resealable plastic bag and use a flat meat mallet to carefully pound out the hump. This ensures that the chicken cooks evenly and you don’t have juicy chicken and half-dry chicken.
I don’t have a grill. Can I cook the chicken in the oven or skillet? Yes! To cook the chicken breasts inside, pan-sear it for 3 to 4 minutes per side over medium-high heat. Place on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake at 400ºF for 10 minutes.
Is Siracha Chicken spicy? There is a small kick to the chicken from the sriracha, but we did not think this was spicy. If you are worried about the heat, start with 2 tablespoons sriracha.
Can I freeze Marinated Chicken? Yes! You can freeze the chicken uncooked or cooked.
- Prepare the marinade. Place chicken in a freezer bag and pour the marinade over the chicken. Seal the bag and freeze. When ready to cook, thaw in the refrigerator overnight and cook.
- To freeze cooked chicken, cool completely and place in a freezer bag and freeze. Thaw and reheat in the microwave.
Store leftover chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
