Grilled Hawaiian BBQ Chicken with Pineapple Honey Chipotle Grillin' Beans will be your new favorite Memorial Day, Labor Day and 4th of July meal!

A DELICIOUS GRILLED CHICKEN RECIPE

I have a twofer for y'all today. This could be your whole Memorial Day meal right here. It's a unique take on the usual grilled BBQ chicken but it's ridiculously easy. And because we're grilling all of it - it makes for easy clean up and we're keeping the dirty dishes to a minimum. The pineapple in the beans and the pineapple juice in the chicken marinade makes this the perfect powerhouse combination.

HONEY CHIPOTLE GRILLIN' BEANS

Really, it is no different than adding something sweet like molasses or brown sugar. But in this case, the pineapple doesn't add crazy-sweetness but it adds texture. And it's that texture that really adds a whole new dimension of flavor I think you will really love! Combine all of that with the sweet and smoky flavor of grilled pineapple (like those of the BUSH'S Honey Chipotle Grillin' Beans) and you are gonna elevate your Memorial Day BBQ to the next level!
