Increase the burner temperature to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and place the thighs, skin side down first, and the drumsticks directly on the cooking grill. Cook until the internal temperature reaches 74°C, about 16 minutes, turning the chicken pieces as required.

Tips:

Marinate the chicken for at least two hours or overnight. Brush the pineapple with a little olive oil to prevent sticking to the grill. Ensure the grills are super clean for the chicken, this will help prevent the chicken sticking to the grill. Cook chicken at a medium to high temperature, to ensure the chicken is cooked through but the lovely charred marks are achieved. Use an instant read thermometer to check when the chicken is ready (74°C),
