Pineapple Fried Chicken Recipe

Pineapple Fried Chicken is our newest addition to our Fried Chicken Recipes. This fried chicken variation is quite tender and has a nice collaboration of flavor from the chicken and marinade.

This Pineapple Fried Chicken recipe is simple. I started out by cutting a whole chicken into serving pieces. Each piece was washed with running water. I make sure to wash poultry products longer to avoid bacteria and contaminants. It is important to drain excess water and dry the chicken with a paper towel or a clean cloth after washing.

The marinade is made-up of crushed pineapple, lemon soda, soy sauce, some seasonings, and spices. I used canned pineapples, but you can always use fresh ones; in fact, fresh is better. Pineapple juice can always be used as a substitute for crushed pineapple. For better tasting pineapple fried chicken, make sure to marinate for at least 6 hours. I usually do it overnight to get the optimum effect.
