Can you cook pineapple chicken on a Blackstone griddle? Absolutely! The Blackstone is perfect for searing chicken, caramelizing pineapple, and cooking vegetables on the same surface.
Are pineapple chicken bowls egg-free? This recipe uses no eggs, but check the labels on your sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, and other packaged ingredients if avoiding eggs due to an allergy.
Can I use canned pineapple instead of fresh? Yes! Just drain it thoroughly before adding it to the griddle. Fresh pineapple tends to hold its shape a little better, but canned pineapple works great too.
