3. 3

   Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

4. 4

   While the grill is heating, prepare the pineapple relish by combining pineapple chunks, red onion, red chili, cilantro, honey, lime juice, and salt in a bowl. Mix well and set aside.

5. 5

   Remove the chicken from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Discard the marinade.
