Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Add the vegetable oil to a large skillet set over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, season with a pinch of salt and pepper and cook, turning halfway through, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the scallions and garlic and continue to cook for another minute.
- In a liquid measuring cup, whisk together the pineapple juice, hot sauce and honey. Add the liquid to the skillet, bring to a simmer and cook for 5 to 7 minutes.
- Meanwhile, shingle the tortillas on a baking sheet and warm them in the oven for 5 minutes.
- Put the broccoli slaw in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, mix the mayo, chipotle sauce, lime zest and half of the lime juice. Add the dressing to the slaw and toss. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper and additional lime juice if needed.
- Remove the chicken to a cutting board. Lower the heat under the skillet and continue to reduce the remaining juices to a syrup consistency. Slice the chicken.
- To build the tacos, place the tortillas flat on a plate, add the sliced chicken down the middle and spoon on some of the reduced sauce from the skillet. Top with the pineapple, slaw and cilantro. Serve alongside chips and salsa.

Steps:
- Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the pineapple in half lengthwise. Using the knife tip, cut around the inside edge of the pineapple, being careful not to cut through the skin. Slice down and across the pineapple flesh, then scoop out the pineapple cubes with a spoon. Discard the core and set the flesh aside.
- In a large pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the chicken and season with salt and pepper. Fry for about 10 minutes, until browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set aside.
- Add the cubed pineapple, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, and garlic paste and cook for a few minutes. Stir in the chicken stock, bring to a boil, then simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has reduced and thickened.
- Add the chicken back to the pan and stir until evenly coated with the sauce. Serve in the empty pineapple halves, along with some rice and sesame seeds.
- Enjoy!

PINEAPPLE THRONE CHICKEN TACOS
We channeled the flavors of al pastor in our seasonings for this chicken that roast standing upright on the core of a pineapple--you get even cooking all around and the spices play to the sweet juicy fruit's taste. The trickiest part of this dish is making sure you cut the pineapple base flat, so the chicken doesn't tip over once it begins to cook. If it does, you can prop the bird up on the grill with a brick or other heatproof anchor.

Steps:
- For the chicken: Combine the chile powder, cumin, oregano, garlic powder, cloves and 1 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Rub all over the outside of the chicken and sprinkle a little in the cavity. Let sit at room temperature 1 hour or refrigerate up to overnight.
- When you are ready to cook, prepare a grill for medium (350 to 375 degrees F) indirect heat (for a gas grill, leave one or two burners on low or off; for a charcoal grill, bank the coals on one side of the grill). Fold a double thickness of aluminum foil to about 10 inches square and place in the center of the indirect heat (or use a disposable aluminum pan).
- Cut the top from the pineapple and cut a small slice from the bottom, if needed, so the pineapple stands up firmly on its own. Use a serrated knife to cut down vertically, along the core to make a plank, stopping a little more than an inch from the base of the pineapple. Cut horizontally above the base to remove 1 plank of pineapple. Remove 3 more planks in the same manner--ending up with a firm base holding up the pineapple core. Cut the flesh from the pineapple. Coarsely chop 1 cup and set aside for the sauce. Cube the remaining pineapple for salsa, about 1 1/2 cups, and set aside.
- Stuff the pineapple core in the cavity of the chicken to make it stand up straight. Place on the foil on the grill and cover the grill. Cook the chicken for 1 hour.
- For the sauce: Meanwhile, melt the achiote paste in a small skillet over low heat, adding 1 to 2 tablespoons water if it is too thick to melt (different brands have different textures). Once melted, add the garlic and cook until sizzling, about 1 minute. Stir in the cumin, oregano, cloves and 1/2 teaspoon salt and remove from the heat. Transfer to a blender with the reserved 1 cup chopped pineapple, vinegar and agave. Blend to make a smooth sauce about the consistency of BBQ sauce. Season with salt. You will have about 1 1/2 cups. Divide the sauce between 2 bowls, reserving one bowl for basting and one for serving.
- After 1 hour, brush the chicken with some of the basting sauce and re-cover the grill. Continue to cook, basting every 10 minutes, until the skin is deep golden brown and the chicken is cooked through and tender (an instant-read thermometer should read 165 degrees F in the thickest part of the thigh), 30 to 40 minutes more. Remove the chicken to a cutting board to rest for 10 minutes and remove the pineapple core.
- For the salsa: While the chicken rests, toss the reserved 1 1/2 cups pineapple cubes in a medium bowl with the lime juice, oil, plum tomato, jalapeno, red onion and 1 teaspoon salt. Toss well. Add the cilantro and toss just to combine.
- Cut the chicken into pieces, then carve the meat from the bones and chop into bite-size pieces. Serve with the salsa, cabbage, avocado, lime wedges and tortillas on the side. Drizzle the tacos with the reserved pineapple sauce.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh pineapple and bell peppers will give your tacos the best flavor.
- Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken breasts can easily become dry and tough if they're overcooked. Cook them until they're just cooked through.
- Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade will help to infuse the chicken with flavor and keep it moist.
- Grill or pan-fry the chicken: You can either grill or pan-fry the chicken breasts. If you're grilling them, cook them over medium heat for about 8 minutes per side. If you're pan-frying them, cook them over medium heat for about 5 minutes per side or until cooked through.
- Make your own pineapple-paprika sauce: The pineapple-paprika sauce is what really makes these tacos special. It's easy to make and only requires a few ingredients.
- Load up your tacos: Don't be afraid to load up your tacos with all your favorite toppings. Some good options include shredded cabbage, salsa, sour cream, and guacamole.
Conclusion:
Pineapple-paprika chicken tacos are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that's perfect for a weeknight dinner. They're also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With just a few simple ingredients, you can have a flavorful and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
