Pin This RecipeThis Whiskey Pineapple Chicken is crazy delicious! Chicken marinated in whiskey, pineapple juice, bbq sauce, garlic and Worcestershire sauce. We let the chicken marinate overnight in the marinade and it was DELICIOUS! You could let it marinade two days if you want even more flavor!!
We brushed the chicken with a little extra BBQ sauce before pulling it off the grill. Feel free to add a shot of whiskey to the BBQ sauce for a little extra kick!! The extra BBQ sauce is totally optional, but we really loved it! It also give the chicken some nice color.
We ate this for lunch and dinner on the same day! It was that good!! The leftovers didn’t last long. I’ve added this chicken to the menu for the next week. We are totally addicted to all the flavors in this grilled chicken.
This chicken is great for summer cookouts and tailgating this fall. You can easily double or triple the recipe for a crowd. We love to serve this chicken with green beans, rolls, or a salad. Here are a few of our favorite recipes from the blog that go great with this yummy grilled chicken:

In Canada whiskey means Rye which I have never used in a marinade. Can you give me an idea of what type of whiskey, Would it be Scotch Whiskey for example or could you give me a brand name of the whiskey you use; Just so I know what to use. I am making this for a group and don’t want to mess up the flavour. Thank You!
I use Makers Mark or Basil Hayden
Jack Daniel works with this recipe
Can you do on a gas grill
yes
I made this tonight and it was pretty good, just a little too strong of a taste of the whisky. Since I’m not a whisky person I had no idea what Tom use and ended up with aged Jim beam whiskey bourbon. What one do you use? Perhaps it will be better.
My apologies I meant what kind to use not Tom. As well as which one do you use not What.
It is honestly just a personal preference. There is no right or wrong one to use. I’ve used Makers Mark and Basil Hayden. If you don’t like whiskey, you can reduce it.
Would this be ok to air fry?
Absolutely
Since chicken breast sizes vary greatly, depending on which one you buy, how many ounces/pounds of chicken do you typically use for this recipe? About 1-1.5 lbs?
It varies. I’ve never weighed it. I just grab 4 chicken breasts. Just throw in as much chicken as you want.
