Great recipe, however I find that using sweetened flaked coconuts results in a chicken that is a little too sweet for my tastes. Also, I have made this recipe using plain seltzer water and also beer in place of the seltzer and the beer version was definitely the best!

These were really great. The chicken was perfectly tender and the dipping sauce was outstanding! I only had sliced pineapple so I just put some through the food processor and I did add extra red pepper jelly. This was really amazing. Thanks!

Quite quick to put together and yet tastes so fancy! I used a cranberry pepper jelly for the sauce, which was fantastic. I made it because I wanted something fun to eat. This is an easy, impressive dish for a state-side luau. Thanks for posting.
