Hawaiian Jerk Chicken and Grilled Pineapple

-
Come on, if you don’t like grilled food than get out of here!

Even though popular belief says beef is the best, I personally enjoy a piece of chicken right off the grill. But when this Hawaiian jerk chicken was served at my family’s dinner table, it became an instant favorite! 
 
Serve it with a few slices of grilled pineapple on a bed of couscous, and you’ll have an
instant hit!
