Reviews
I made this recipe and I paid close attention to the reviews that talked about the chicken being mushy after marinating it too long. I was careful not to marinade it for longer than 2 hours. Needless to say, the chicken was mushy anyway. There is something wrong with this marinade that reacts with the chicken. Do not make this as it will ruin your chicken. I made this for a special Labor Day BBQ and we ended up throwing most of the chicken away.
Made this recently. I followed the recipe exactly except I marinated the chicken and pineapples in separate bowls. It was super easy to put together and filled with wonderful flavor! The chicken was tender and delicious! This one is a keeper.
I served this to our friends, who loved it that it was not as sweet as some marinade sauces. Took others advice, so I made a double batch of marinade and only marinated the chicken in one, added slices of bell peppers and onion in the other batch and then added pineapple and mushrooms at the end of marinade time ( 2 hours) – just to toss with the sauce. Drained both marinades into a pot with a tablespoon of cornstarch (mix in while cold) and a 1/4 cup of the pineapple juice to cook and thicken. Threaded all ingredients on skewers and threw them on the BarBQ. Served over rice with the heated /thickened marinade sauce and it was yummy !!!
Very Good! I made some pork kabobs and shrimp kabobs using the same marinade, all were good!
Keep the pineapple separate from the chicken. I marinated it for over a day but the chicken wasn’t as flavorful as I thought it would be.
I made this tonight and used all the ingredients, but didn’t measure them, just winged it. I cut the chicken into about 1-1/2″ cubes. I also used all the liquid from the canned pineapple for the marinade. Turned out well! I took others’ advice and marinated the chicken and pineapple in separate containers. After putting the chicken and pineapple on separate skewers, I thickened the marinade FROM THE PINEAPPLE with some cornstarch and used the mixture to glaze both while grilling them. Served with white rice, and will make again! 🙂 BTW, use canned pineapple, not fresh.
I used rice vinegar instead of sherry
These were awesome we put them in a flour tortilla with zoodles and grilled jalapeños the best! As for the recipe I read it made the marinade to roughly the same measurements given… Marinade for 4 hours and hubby cooked them with hickory pellets on his grill…. the best tacos I have had in a very long time. Only bummer is there was not enough for seconds… AND IT WAS TACOS.. so we will be having these again
Loved this!! Marinated it over night. Great summer meal!
Delicious! Only change was I used balsamic vinegar because I didn’t have any sherry. Came out great!
The marinade flavor was delicious. But the next time I’m going to marinade the chicken separate from the pineapple. The pineapple juices broke down the texture of the chicken and made it almost chalky. Other than that, it was a very refreshing, tropical complete meal on a hot summer evening.
My family and I loved this recipe. Only thing I changed was the sherry cause I did not have any so I substituted rice wine vinegar. We grilled them over mesquite charcoal. It was delicious. I am making it again tonight and we are making Hawaiian Shrimp Kabobs as well.
Whole family of 4 disliked this dish. The pineapple breaks down the chicken turning it to mush, giving the chicken almost a weird peanut butter taste. The chicken gives the pineapple an off taste. If I have do-over: I’d keep the pineapple out of the marinate, cook the pineapple and chicken on separate skewers, and combine the two at serving.
I had to sub in Mirin for the Sherry and it was really, really, really tasty.
This is family, summer favorite in our house. we add cherry tomatoes & onions to our scewers in addition to the pineapple. It is so good!
Made this for my Mom and sister- they loved it!
Sad to say this recipe didn’t work for my family. Probably user error but our chicken was bland and dry. May try again by tweaking the recipe like the other reviewers.
I made this for a luau and everyone raved about it! The marinade is delicious and well worth making your own. I marinaded the chicken overnight but did not marinate the pineapple. I sliced fresh Delmonte gold pineapples just before skewering then skewered the chicken and pineapple just before grilling. I was cooking for a large group of people so skewering 50 kabobs was rather time consuming. Next time I make this for a large group I plan on skipping the skewering process and will just put the chicken on a flat top until partway done then I would add the fresh pineapple and cook on the flat top until finished.
Perfect summer night dinner!
I doubled the sauce and marinated chicken and pineapple in one, and peppers, mushrooms, yellow squash and onion in the other. After marinating, I thickened sauce and based throughout cooking time. Hubby loved it! Definitely will make again….
Delicious and easy. My two requirements
