Sriracha Pineapple Grilled Chicken Recipe - super simple to make and packed full of great flavor! Chicken marinated in bbq sauce, dijon mustard, Sriracha, honey, and pineapple juice. Tastes great! Sweet, smokey, and a tad bit spicy in every bit. Serve with your favorite grilled veggies for a meal the whole family will enjoy!
Whisk together BBQ sauce, Sriracha, honey, mustard and pineapple juice.
Place chicken in a gallon ziplock bag and pour marinade over chicken.
Refrigerate a few hours to overnight.
Remove chicken from marinade and grill for approximately 15 minutes, until done.
Notes:
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.
My favorite store-bought BBQ sauces are Sweet Baby Rays, Stubbs, G.Hughes, and Williamson Brothers. I buy them all at Walmart.
