Now, for a few quick tips on cutting a pineapple.
-
4
For the longest time I wasnt sure I would be able to cut a pineapple so I never bought one.
-
5
But after I finally tried and discovered how easy it really is I buy them all summer long.
-
6
First, cut off the top and bottom.
-
7
Stand it upright and guide your knife along the side, almost like youre peeling an apple.
-
8
Continue working around the whole pineapple, then go back and trim a little closer to remove any dark spots.
-
9
Lay it on its side and slice it.
-
10
Now for the real trick.
-
11
Use an apple corer to remove the hard center.
-
12
If you dont have one you can gently use a sharp paring knife, but I would encourage you to invest in the corer.
-
13
Plus theyre really kind of fun to use.
-
14
Put slices in with the remainder of the marinade and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
-
15
Preheat the grill to 450-500 F.
-
16
Remove chicken from the marinade.
-
17
Grill chicken about 4 minutes on the first side, turn over each piece and pour remaining marinade over the chicken.
-
18
Grill 4-5 minutes more and remove from grill.
-
19
Do not overcook.
-
20
Bring inside, squeeze a lime over the chicken and cover tightly with aluminum foil.
-
21
THIS IS THE SECRET TO REALLY MOIST CHICKEN.
-
22
Let it rest while you grill the pineapple.
-
23
The pineapple wont take long to get nice grill marks.
-
24
About 5-10 minutes depending on how hot your grill is.
-
25
Arrange both the chicken and pineapple on a platter, sprinkle with chopped garlic chives for a bit of color and wait to hear how much they like it.
-
26
I have to say, this might be my favorite chicken yet.
-
27
Its moist and juicy with tons of flavor.
-
28
I like each bite to have a bit of chicken and a piece of pineapple.
-
29
It really does melt in your mouth.
-
30
And if you have any left over, its good cold in the morning.
-
31
(Trust me on this ...

I just finished the last few bites.)
