Preparation
  1. Combine diced tomatoes, 2 tbsp minced red onion, and chopped cilantro in a bowl. Season with salt and lime juice; set aside.
  2. Oil the pineapple rings and grill over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes per side until caramelized with visible grill marks.
  3. Season chicken with salt/pepper. Grill for 5-6 minutes per side. Baste heavily with teriyaki glaze in the last 2 minutes until glossy and charred.
  4. Place buttered brioche buns on the grill for 30-60 seconds until the interior is golden-brown and crisp.

Notes

For the best flavor, use fresh pineapple instead of canned.
Butterflying the chicken ensures it cooks at the same speed as the pineapple caramelizes.
