Whiskey Pineapple Chicken just drinks in all the great flavors... literally! The chicken marinates in the smoky whiskey and the tropically sweet and tangy pineapple juice, ensuring each bite is not only tender and juicy but also a blast of tropical taste! Grilled peppers and onions add a little freshness to help balance out the strong savory flavor of the meat, making this an exquisite grilled masterpiece. With summertime on the way, there's no better time to whip up some Whiskey Pineapple Chicken!
