• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Reduce heat to low on one burner of the preheated grill. Place oven-safe dish over the low burner; add butter and green onions to the dish and allow to slowly melt. Remove chicken from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade. Grill chicken in batches over the medium burners, turning once, until juices run clear, about 10 minutes per batch.
• When chicken is cooked, place each piece into the butter and onion "bath", turning a couple of times to ensure it is well coated. Continue to grill remaining chicken, adding each piece to the butter and onion "bath", pushing already-coated pieces to the side until all pieces have been coated.

HAWAIIAN GRILLED CHICKEN & PINEAPPLE COOKED MY WAY

Steps:

• In baggie mix marinade - add chicken pieces to baggie and rotate until all the pieces of chicken are coated. I put the chicken in the refrigerator while I cooked up some rice, You can marinate for up to 2 hours.
• Preheat grill pan - until screaming hot, - spraying with cooking spray before adding chicken chunks from the marinate and placing the pineapple chunks around the chicken until all have been added to the grill. When chicken releases from grill, no cheating, turn and grill the chicken and the pineapple on the other side.
• Take the marinade left in the baggie and add it to a small saucepan and heat until boiling. Mix cornstarch and water together in a small bowl. When marinade is boiling, slowly add the cornstarch mixture and return to a boil and stir until thickened.
• Take the chicken and the pineapple from the grill and add to the thickened sauce and stir well until all is well coated.
• To serve place rice on platter and top with the chicken and pineapple.
• NOTE: I thought that adding some green bell pepper and some onions to this would make it even better -- maybe next time !
