Spicy pineapple chicken is a great combination of sweet, spicy, and sticky flavors. This chicken is quick and easy to prepare and perfect on the grill.

Make sure to give yourself enough time to marinate the chicken for at least one hour to overnight. The marinade is also wonderful used on shrimp, salmon, or other proteins.

With its Asian-influenced marinade of soy, pineapple juice, and hot sauce, this will definitely become one of your summer staples for grilling.
