Ginger beer BBQ chicken with pineapple

Method

1. Step 1

   Place the chicken in a large bowl. Combine pineapple juice, ginger beer, spring onion, sugar, soy sauce, chilli paste, if using, paprika and cumin in a small bowl. Season. Pour over the chicken and turn to coat. Place in the fridge for 1 hour to marinate.

2. Step 2

   Drain chicken, reserving marinade. Heat a greased covered barbecue on medium. Cook chicken, covered, turning, for 20 mins or until golden brown and cooked through. (Alternatively, roast at 200°C, turning halfway, for 30 mins or until cooked through.) Transfer to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.

3. Step 3

   Meanwhile, place the reserved marinade in a large saucepan over high heat. Bring to the boil. Cook for 5 mins or until the marinade thickens.

4. Step 4

   Increase barbecue to high. Spray the pineapple with olive oil spray. Cook on barbecue for 2-3 mins each side or until lightly charred.

5. Step 5

   Arrange the chicken and pineapple on a serving platter. Drizzle with sauce.
