Part 5/6:
With the chicken cooked, it’s time to make the barbecue sauce. In the same pan used to cook the chicken, pour in the leftover marinade. Allow it to come to a simmer and reduce for about 5 minutes until it thickens. Once thickened, return the chicken to the pan, coating it generously in the sauce and reducing the heat to its lowest setting.
Let the chicken sit in the sauce for a couple of minutes to absorb all the flavors before serving.
Serve and Enjoy
Lastly, it’s time for the best part: the taste test! Serve the pineapple barbecue chicken alongside your chilled macaroni salad and some white rice. The combination promises an explosion of flavor, with the juicy chicken perfectly complemented by the creamy salad.
