  • Whisk BBQ sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, ginger, sesame oil, honey, and garlic together in a large bowl until completely combined. Season with red pepper flakes and salt. Pour 1/2 of the marinade over the chicken. Marinate in the refrigerator for 4 hours. Set aside remaining marinade.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Remove chicken and discard marinade.
  • Cook on the preheated grill until browned and no longer pink in the center, brushing with reserved marinade and flipping as needed, 10 to 15 minutes. Add pineapple to the grill during the last 5 minutes of cooking time. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the chicken should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
