HAWAIIAN BBQ CHICKEN MARINADE

The kind of the chicken marinade for this formulas resembles a tidied up Hawaiian BBQ sauce. It's somewhat smoky, somewhat sweet and will make them lick the additional items off your fingers! We utilize all genuine nourishment fixings not at all like many locally acquired sauces and marinades and dates are our essential sugar, keeping this one Whole30 agreeable if that is your thing!

We utilize chicken thighs in this formula which concoct before long, and we cherish flame broiling the chicken and pineapple on high warmth and furthermore on our Traeger wood pellet barbecue. The Traeger truly includes a layer of smoke you simply don't get with a conventional barbecue. It additionally reliably cooks everything to flawlessness. I need to concede that flame broiling on our old charcoal barbecue was continually scary to me… like I would prefer to warm the house up cooking with the stove/broiler than endeavor to get the charcoals moving, without making an all out wreckage.

On the Traeger however, I feel as good as I do inside in our kitchen. It has made cooking this late spring a lot more fun and agreeable for me! We had a Traeger for quite a long while, and afterward this late spring our companions at Traeger overhauled our setup and sent us a spic and span barbecue! It's been one of my most loved pieces of this mid year!
