Barbecue sauce

1/2 cup (for marinating and spreading)

Instructions

1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
2. In a bowl, marinate the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and half of the barbecue sauce (1/4 cup) for at least 30 minutes to enhance flavor.
3. Grill the marinated chicken breasts for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
4. During the last few minutes of grilling, place the pineapple slices on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are lightly charred and caramelized.
5. Remove the chicken and pineapple from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes to retain their juices.
6. In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise with the remaining barbecue sauce (1/4 cup) to create a flavorful spread.
7. Spread the mayonnaise-barbecue mixture on the cut sides of the hamburger buns.
8. Layer the bottom bun with lettuce leaves, followed by tomato slices, grilled chicken, and grilled pineapple. Top with red onion slices.
9. Finish with the top bun, serve immediately, and enjoy the burst of tropical flavors!
