I used boneless instead of bone in and it was great still. Pineapple flavor very subtle.

This was a really good recipe for chicken. I added a few things-2 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 grated fresh garlic cloves, and a pinch of white pepper, paprika, and crushed red pepper flakes. The ease of this recipe was wonderful, very tasty sauce, and my family liked it, I will make again-thanks! I served it with steamed jasmine rice and an asian vegetable blend.
