One of my favorite toys in the kitchen is my flavor syringe. I love injecting marinade and other wonderful things (like whisky) into chicken and roasts, it adds the most wonderful flavor! We don't have pineapple juice available for drinking in this country, so I just used the syrup from the canned pineapples. I also used some generic Morrocan hot peppers instead of the chipotles, which also don't exist here. Good recipe, great flavor, fun to make!
