The chicken was a bit dry, but the pineapple sauce was delicious. I would recommend marinating the chicken for longer next time.

This recipe is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend reducing the amount of pineapple juice or adding some acidity, like lemon juice or vinegar, to balance out the flavors.
