The leafs are changing their colors and summer comes to an end. Autumn is around the corner – but not for my barbecue! Over the summer I fell in love with my Weber BBQ and just won’t put it away that easily.
For this recipe I wanted to try something new. There have been plenty of stuffed fruit and veggies in the past, today I am just ging to stuff a pineapple with delicious chicken thighs. The flavours of the pineapple end up in the meat and make it super tender. Definitely try, if you want to have some delicious, flavourful and juicy chicken.
It’s important to scrape out the pineapple flesh gently to not destroy the shell. After you barbecue the meat on high heat just put it into the pineapple and wrap it up like a gift.
This time I even had help!
