GRILLED HAWAIIAN CHICKEN SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Mix together the barbecue sauce, pineapple juice, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and Sriracha. Marinate the chicken in this mixture for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
• When ready to cook, remove the chicken from the marinade letting excess drip off. Spray the pineapple slices with cooking spray. Grill the chicken and pineapple for 4-5 minutes per side or until cooked through. For thinner chicken, cook less time on each side.
• Meanwhile, pour the excess marinade into a sauce pan. Bring to a boil and let cook 4-5 minutes until slightly reduced. Serve drizzled on the sandwiches.
• Serve layered on the hamburger roll with sliced red onion, fresh jalapeno, greens, grilled pineapple, and a drizzle of the homemade barbecue sauce.

GRILLED HAWAIIAN CHICKEN AND PINEAPPLE SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Place the chicken pieces into a large resealable bag and pour in the marinade. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
• Preheat a grill for medium-high heat. When hot, lightly oil the grate. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade.
• Grill the chicken pieces until cooked through, about 10 minutes, turning once. 5 minutes before they are done, place the pineapple rings on the grill and cook for a couple of minutes per side. Place the pineapple slices on top of the pieces of chicken and top with a slice of cheese. Close the lid to the grill and allow the cheese to melt for a minute. Toast the buns, if desired.
• To assemble the sandwiches, place the chicken, pineapple and cheese onto the bottom buns. Top with lettuce and tomato. Spread the thousand island dressing onto the top buns and place onto the sandwiches.

HAWAIIAN GRILLED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Whisk pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger together in a bowl until brown sugar has dissolved. Pour marinade into a resealable plastic bag. Add chicken thighs and coat with the marinade. Squeeze out excess air and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator, 4 hours to overnight.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Reduce heat to low on one burner of the preheated grill. Place oven-safe dish over the low burner; add butter and green onions to the dish and allow to slowly melt. Remove chicken from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade. Grill chicken in batches over the medium burners, turning once, until juices run clear, about 10 minutes per batch.
• When chicken is cooked, place each piece into the butter and onion "bath", turning a couple of times to ensure it is well coated. Continue to grill remaining chicken, adding each piece to the butter and onion "bath", pushing already-coated pieces to the side until all pieces have been coated.
