Now, in our house, Tyson® chicken reigns king of all chicken products. For our chicken marinade, we used their Tyson® Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts.

They were the perfect palate to compliment all those tropical flavors.

For the hot dogs, because let’s face it you can’t grill in your backyard and not have hot dogs, we prefer Ball Park® Hot Dogs.

Try our pineapple chipotle relish as a topping.

After the chicken has been marinated and cooked, Ball Park® buns are an awesome burger bun.

The buns hold up well to all that juicy grilled chicken.

Backyard Bash Recipes

Pineapple Coconut Chicken Marinade:

1 Cup Coconut Water
6 Ounces of Pineapple Juice
1/2 Cup Olive Oil
1/2 Cup Red Wine Vinegar
1 Tsp. Sea Salt
1 Tsp. Chili Powder
1 Lb. Chicken Breast

Instructions:

First, clean and trim the chicken breast. Butterfly the breasts to create 6-8 thin chicken breast filets.
Next, in a mixing bowl combine the coconut water, pineapple juice, olive oil, vinegar, salt, and chili powder. Use a whisk to blend the marinade. Alternately, you could put all the ingredients into a mason jar, seal it, and shake vigorously.
Now, pour the marinade into a ziplock bag and add the chicken. Make sure all the filets get coated in the marinade. Refrigerate the chicken in the marinade for at least 30 minutes.
While the chicken marinades, fire up your grill or preheat a griddle over medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for 6-8 minutes on each side or until the breast filets are evenly cooked.
Last serve them on a sandwich or as-is with any sides of your choice.
