I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not much of a football watcher, but I do love a good excuse to make yummy goodies and invite friends into our home. I take great pride in preparing the perfect finger foods, veggie platters, and mini sandwiches. Because I believe that everything tastes better when it’s tiny and cute. 🙂

I like to have a nice variety of snacks at-the-ready for our guests. These Grilled Pineapple Chicken Teriyaki Sliders are so easy to prepare and are always a huge hit!

But, something that’s equally as important to me as what we eat is how my house looks when the party begins.

I certainly want my home to look clean and presentable, but I don’t want to spend my whole day fussing about it. And we all know that it’s not just about the prep work before, but the cleanup afterwards. That’s why I like to prevent unnecessary stress by stocking my home with products like Angel Soft® Bath Tissue, Sparkle® Paper Towel, and Glad® Food Storage and Trash.

It’s important that I get each space in my home ready for company, right down to the restrooms.  So that means I’m sure to stock them with lots of Angel Soft® Bath Tissue!

I want to enjoy time with our guests to the fullest, so I equip myself with plenty of Sparkle® Paper Towels so I can quickly wipe up messes, like teriyaki sauce drips, as they happen! That way, I don’t even have to miss a beat in our conversation!

If there happen to be leftover chicken tenders from the sliders, I simply place them in a gallon Glad® Food Storage Bag and throw them in the refrigerator. No sweat!

Ingredients

  

• 2 lbs. chicken tenderloins
• 1 large pineapple sliced into rings
• Slider rolls
• Teriyaki Sauce:
• 1/2 c. granulated sugar
• 1/2 c. soy sauce
• 1/4 c. cider vinegar
• 1 clove garlic minced
• 1/2 t. ground ginger
• 1/4 t. black pepper
• 1 1/2 Tbsp. cornstarch
• 2 Tbsp. pineapple juice

Instructions

 

• Make the teriyaki sauce by first whisking together cornstarch and pineapple juice in a small bowl. Set aside.
• In a small sauce pan, whisk together granulated sugar, soy sauce, cider vinegar, garlic, ginger, and black pepper in a small sauce pan over the stove top. Turn heat to medium-high and allow mixture to come to a full boil, while whisking it occasionally so it doesn't burn. After it boils, quickly pour in cornstarch and pineapple juice mixture, while whisking and allow it to return to a boil just until it thickens. Quickly remove it from the heat. Stir and transfer to a sealable container and place in the refrigerator to cool and further thicken.
• Place chicken tenderloins and pineapple rings in separate Glad® Food Storage Bags. Reserve 1/4 c. teriyaki sauce and pour 1/2 of the remaining sauce into the chicken tenderloin bag and the other 1/2 in the bag with the pineapple rings. Allow these to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours.
• Grill chicken and pineapple rings on medium-high heat, turning once, until chicken is no longer pink inside. At the very end of the grilling process, baste chicken and pineapple with remaining 1/4 c. of teriyaki sauce.
• Cut tenderloins, as necessary, to fit on slider rolls. Place chicken and a pineapple slice on a toasted slider roll and serve.

Be sure to make enough to feed an army, because these will not last long!
