Notes
How to Serve: You can eat pineapple BBQ chicken straight from the foil packs or serve in a bun or over rice or mashed potatoes. It's also nice over noodles or pasta.
Leftovers: Make a wrap with leftovers or add them to a salad. Another idea is to make camp toast (toast some bread on the campfire) and drizzle olive oil over it, before adding the Hawaiian chicken leftovers - voila: bruschetta!
Check the temperature: The best way to tell if the chicken is done is to use a thermometer. Chicken breast should reach 165 degrees F in the thickest part to be considered safe to eat. If you're using bone-in chicken thighs or drumsticks instead, it's best to get them to 175°F.
