Whiskey Pineapple Chicken

Ingredients:
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
Sauce: 3/4 cup of whiskey or bourbon
1/2 cup of barbecue sauce (your favorite)
3/4 cup of pineapple juice
4 minced garlic cloves
2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon of pepper
1/2 cup of barbecue sauce (your favorite)
3/4 cup of pineapple juice
4 minced garlic cloves
2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon of pepper
Instructions:
1. In a mixing bowl, combine sauce ingredients. Spread over chicken and let marinate overnight. I like to do this step in a Ziploc bag.
2. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade.
3. Grill the chicken breasts for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). While grilling, brush the reserved marinade onto the chicken occasionally, allowing it to caramelize and create a sticky glaze.
Serve the Whiskey Pineapple Chicken alongside the grilled pineapple rings, garnished with chopped fresh cilantro if desired. This dish pairs perfectly with steamed rice or grilled vegetables.
