Great recipe, however I find that using sweetened flaked coconuts results in a chicken that is a little too sweet for my tastes. Also, I have made this recipe using plain seltzer water and also beer in place of the seltzer and the beer version was definitely the best! -
This was SOOOOOOOOOOO good. I have looked for a long time for something like this - thanks. Made as written. Moist and very flavorful.

These were really great. The chicken was perfectly tender and the dipping sauce was outstanding! I only had sliced pineapple so I just put some through the food processor and I did add extra red pepper jelly. This was really amazing. Thanks! -
Quite quick to put together and yet tastes so fancy! I used a cranberry pepper jelly for the sauce, which was fantastic. I made it because I wanted something fun to eat. This is an easy, impressive dish for a state-side luau. Thanks for posting.
