Fantastic. I added a teaspoon of fresh grated ginger plus a few shakes of cayenne and about a teaspoon of dried chili flakes because we like things spicy, although the basic flavor is still excellent. We used a non-stick griddle on the grill and are so glad we did! Otherwise, the sugars from the marinade and pineapple would have made a mess. Using the griddle, the kebabs carmelized perfectly (without flameups) and the chicken was moist and very flavorful, with only 2 hours of marinating.

My new, make-ahead favorite for parties and potlucks! It is so easy to scale up for bigger events. Instead of adding the seasoning packet, I puree an onion (so the kids don't see it) and add salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and pepper - then sautee with the ground beef. The recipe also works great with soy crumbles. The filling freezes well in a baggie - just thaw in the fridge (DON'T microwave or it will separate.

May be the best chicken ever. At the end of the cooking time, the thighs were still underdone but I wasn't too surprised because we added onion quarters to the chicken cavity, which add to the cooking time. So, we flipped the bird over and roasted breast side-up for another 30 minutes. It came out perfect this time! I only let it rest for 12 minutes and had to carve b/c the kids were howling for food, but the chicken was still incredibly juicy and the meat had amazing flavor - reminiscent of Indian or Middle Eastern flavors. I think next time we'll bake in the oven and finish on the grill... yum.
