    This easy recipe for Tantalizing Teriyaki Bacon Wrapped Pineapple Chicken calls for only four ingredients. Bacon, teriyaki sauce (mine came with the sesame seeds, you may want to add sesame seeds to your ingredient list if your brand doesn't include sesame seeds), pineapple rings, and bone-in skinless chicken thighs.

    Have you ever marinated bacon before? I never had, until I decided to marinate the bacon for this recipe in teriyaki sauce. My thought was that it would give the bacon a little extra Asian component before it was snuggled ever so lovingly around the chicken and pineapple.

    Not only did marinating the bacon in the teriyaki sauce give it a sweet Asian flavor, but it also gave the bacon a beautiful deep mahogany color as it cooked, making it a feast for the eyes as well as the taste buds!

    Even though I used bone-in and skinless chicken thighs (I removed the skin myself before cooking), feel free to substitute boneless skinless chicken thighs for this recipe. By doing that you can easily turn these into Teriyaki Bacon Wrapped Pineapple Chicken Thigh sandwiches by placing them on buns with maybe a light touch of mayonnaise. YUM!!!

    Lay sliced bacon on a bacon sheet (LOL! Make that baking) sheet and pour approximately ½ cup of store-bought teriyaki sauce over the slices. Use a pastry brush to evenly brush the sauce over both sides of the bacon. Add pineapple rings on top of the bacon and brush with some of the teriyaki sauce that is left on the baking sheet. Allow the bacon a marinate for 15 minutes.

    Brush the skinless chicken thighs with additional teriyaki sauce and season each with salt and pepper. Top each thigh with a pineapple slice, and wrap each pineapple topped chicken thigh with two slices of bacon. Place them onto a baking sheet (with or without a rack added). Bake the chicken thighs in a preheated 350-degree oven for 45 minutes (for bone-in chicken) or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear. *Note - the cooking time will be less if using boneless chicken thighs. The proper cooking temperature for chicken is 165 degrees when using a meat thermometer.

      I love how you nestled pineapple in there, and that bacon looks so perfectly crispy. YUM!
