Pineapple Chicken Marinade

mag05's Note:

This is the best marinade! It is super simple and lots of flavor. We usually let it set overnight. I have also used this for whole chickens, cornish game hens and pork. I have added a little fresh garlic for an added flavor. ENJOY!

Love it, love it, love it! So simple, yet delicious. I subbed in 2 Tbs of honey for the brown sugar. I grilled the chicken after marinating several hours, then at the last moment before it came off the grill, I basted it with a little reserved pineapple juice and a squirt of honey. Made a lovely glaze. This marinade recipe is a regular at my house!

We really liked it we marinated it for about 3hours then grilled it. Thank you we will make again.

This is the best teriyaki chicken I have made. I halved the sugar in it. We marinated the tenders for 5 hours, and it wasn't too sweet, and yielded a subtle, but yummy taste. If you marinate in a ziplock bag, half the amount of marinade could be used.
