However, if you prefer bone-in thighs or have them on hand, feel free to use them, but adjust the cooking time accordingly. Pineapple: Fresh pineapple is the best choice for this recipe as it adds a burst of natural sweetness and juiciness. If fresh pineapple isn’t available, you can use canned pineapple chunks in natural juice, but be sure to drain them well before adding to the pan. Pan Selection: Use a large, oven-safe skillet or frying pan for this recipe to ensure the chicken cooks evenly and has enough space for the pineapple to caramelize alongside it. BBQ Sauce: You can use store-bought BBQ sauce, or if you prefer a homemade version, feel free to whip up your favorite BBQ sauce recipe. Adjust the sweetness and spiciness according to your taste preferences. Searing the Chicken: When sautéing the chicken, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook in batches if needed, allowing each piece enough space to get that beautiful golden sear. Caramelization: The sugars in the pineapple will caramelize as they cook, enhancing the overall flavor of the dish. Keep an eye on the pineapple to prevent burning and adjust the heat if necessary. Serving Suggestions: These BBQ Pineapple Chicken Thighs are fantastic on their own, but they can also be served with steamed rice, quinoa, or roasted vegetables for a complete and satisfying meal. Leftovers: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. They make a delicious addition to salads, sandwiches, or wraps the next day. Enjoy the wonderful blend of flavors in this One Pan BBQ Pineapple Chicken Thighs recipe, and don’t be afraid to get creative and make it your own with personal touches! Happy cooking!
