Preparation

Step 1

In small saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring, until translucent and beginning to brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Add honey, hot pepper sauce and chili powder and simmer for 1 minute. Remove from heat, stir in lemon juice and set aside.

Preheat grill or large grill pan to medium-high. Rub chicken with remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil and season with salt. Grill until well marked, about 7 minutes. Flip and cook until bottoms are well marked and chicken is cooked through, another 2 minutes. Transfer to plate and brush with reserved honey glaze. Cover with foil and let rest for 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, grill pineapple until well marked on one side, about 4 minutes, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes. Serve with chicken.
