This is my grilled chicken dish with fresh pineapple.
Rating from my 3 fastidious foodies was A++
It was pretty simple to dish out. I used whatever available sauces that I could find in my fridge to marinate the chicken in the morning and 8 hours later, grilled it for about 25 minutes (uncovered) in the oven. The fresh pineapple chunks effused such natural sweetness and aroma into the meat that the dish tasted very much like a restaurant dish. We all loved this dish and it is all natural without any MSG or added sugar (except for sugar from the Lea & Perrin sauce). You can use whatever spices that you can find in your kitchen. I used mixed herbs and oregano. You can use rosemary, parsley, turmeric, basil or whatever herbs and spices that you can get from the supermarket or your garden. I also used some oil to marinate and tenderize the meat. Remember to grease the aluminum foil on the baking tray with some oil so that the chicken skin and meat will not stick to the foil.
Do give this dish a try if you want to dish out something tasty in a jiffy. While the dish is cooking in the oven, you can blanch a veggie and wash the dishes. And you can cook it without any oil splatter 🙂
I so agree the oven (and BBQ grill) can be your best friend! I would even cook more in one go and save the leftovers, or make a 2nd different dish. Mangos, and don’t worry if they aren’t all that sweet (a sprinkle of brown sugar or gula melaka can solve that) and peaches (canned is fine) make a restaurant-worthy meal!
Thanks for your great tips Chris!
