Ingredients (serves 4):
For the chicken:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup of pineapple juice
- 1/2 cup of soy sauce
- 1/4 cup of brown sugar
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon of grated ginger
- 1 teaspoon of ground allspice
- 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon

For the sliders:

Instructions:
1. In a large bowl, whisk together the pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, allspice, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper.
2. Add the chicken breasts to the bowl and toss to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade.
4. Grill the chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes.
5. While the chicken is resting, toast the slider buns on the grill.
6. To assemble the sliders, spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Top with a piece of chicken, a slice of pineapple, a few slices of red onion, and a sprinkle of cilantro. Place the top half of the bun on top and serve.
