Very good. A great choice when you want to serve wings that are on the sweeter side, but not overly so. I would like to try this with more pineapple juice next time, as the flavor of the pineapple was less pronounced than expected. But overall, this was a nice marinade and everyone enjoyed the wings. Thanks.

I fixed these lst weekend, they are excellent, butter than I expected. A definite repeat. Thank you, Dee in WI

Only change I made was to use more pineapple juice and less water (purely to use up juice). This was an enjoyable marinade, not too sweet, but with just a bit of tang. A good marinade for those who don't like spicy sauces. I'm guessing that the pineapple juice probably helped tenderise the chicken. Nice and moist.
