This Cilantro Pineapple Grilled Chicken recipe is a perfect way to start off the grilling season.

With warm weather comes the backyard bbq and my favorite way to celebrate summer with family and friends is to invite everyone over for grilled chicken.

Grilled chicken tastes so good when it is marinated in a citrus-based marinade like STUBB'S Citrus and Onion Chicken Marinade. It is the perfect combo of flavors for chicken.
