Brush the chicken often with the leftover sauce. Timing will vary depending on the grill. Keep an eye on the pineapple slices, they cook fast and vary depending on the grill. Keep a plate nearby to add them to. For the air fryer, Add the chicken to the air fryer, set on 375º and cook for about 17 minutes or internal temp reaches 165º.
