Hawaiian BBQ Chicken Sandwiches

These Hawaiian BBQ Chicken Sandwiches are a tropical twist on a classic BBQ favorite. Juicy chicken breasts are rubbed with a sweet and smoky dry rub, grilled to perfection, then glazed with a pineapple-infused BBQ sauce. Layered with grilled pineapple, crisp lettuce, and tangy red onion on soft burger buns, these sandwiches are perfect for a summer cookout or an easy weeknight meal.
