Chef Tips:
- Refrain from marinating the chicken for over 12 hours, or cooking will become challenging.
- You can prepare the chicken, pineapple, and peppers up to 3 days ahead of time. All of the recipes will work on the grill or under the broiler.
- Serve extra grilled pineapple on the side or save for snacking later.
- You can use canned pineapple rings in 100% juice if you thoroughly drain and pat dry the rings.
