Ingredients:

Serving

3 1/2 lbs chicken parts (thighs and drumsticks)
1 fresh pineapple , about 4 lb
2 1/2 tbsp packed light brown sugar
8 scallions, chopped (plus 1/4 cup dark-green 2-inch-long thin strips for garnish )
1 medium onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, chopped
3 tbsp cider vinegar
2 tbsp reduced sodium soy sauce
2 tbsp vegetable oil (plus additional for grill )
1 habaneros or 1 jalapeno chile, chopped
1 1/2 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
1 tbsp packed light brown sugar
2 tsp allspice
1/2 tsp freshly ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp cinnamon

Directions:

To make sauce/marinade: Place all marinade ingredients, except scallion garnish, in a food processor and puree until almost smooth.
Transfer half of puree to a small bowl and keep chilled, covered, for sauce.
Place remaining puree in a large heavy-duty resealable plastic bag with chicken and seal, turning to coat well.
Marinate, chilled, turning bag occasionally, at least 8 hours or overnight, placing bag in a large bowl to catch any leaks.
Preheat grill and lightly oil rack.
Let chicken stand in marinade at room temperature 30 minutes before grilling.
Meanwhile, cut sides and ends off pineapple.
Cut crosswise into 15 slices about 1/4 inch thick.
Sprinkle one side of each slice with 1/2 t packed light brown sugar.
Place sugared side down on rack and grill, turning once, until golden brown, about 3 minutes.
Transfer to a platter, alternating slices with scallion garnish.
Remove chicken from marinade (discard marinade) and grill over moderate heat, turning occasionally, until cooked through 35-45 minutes, depending on size.
Transfer to platter with pineapple and serve with remaining sauce on side (excercise caution; sauce is spicy).
