Grilled Pineapple Lime Chicken Thighs pair juicy, char-kissed thighs with bright citrus and a touch of tropical sweetness. A quick lime-pineapple marinade adds tang and gentle heat, while fresh pineapple and a final squeeze of lime lift every bite. Ideal for warm-weather dinners or weeknight grilling when you want bold, vibrant flavors.

1

Combine pineapple juice, the zest and juice of 1 lime, olive oil, adobo seasoning, salt, and cayenne in a large resealable plastic bag. Gently squeeze the bag to mix the marinade.
2

Add the chicken thighs to the marinade and gently squeeze the bag to coat the chicken. Arrange the thighs in a single layer inside the bag. Gently press out the air, reseal, and refrigerate for 1 hour or up to 2 hours, turning about every 20 minutes.
3

Preheat an outdoor grill to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Clean and oil the grates.
4

Place the chicken on the oiled grate and drizzle with marinade. Grill for 2 to 3 minutes, give each piece a quarter turn, and grill for another 2 to 3 minutes. Turn the chicken over and repeat. Grill until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the center should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
5

Transfer the chicken to a plate, cover with foil, and let rest for 8 to 10 minutes.
6

Cut the remaining lime in half and squeeze 1 lime half over the chicken. Slice the other lime half. Sprinkle pineapple pieces over the chicken; garnish with the lime slices and cilantro sprigs.
