These crispy BBQ chicken tacos with pineapple salsa check all the boxes. They’re sweet, spicy and loaded with flavor. The chicken is coated with the most delicious BBQ sauce and topped with pineapples, red onion, jalapeno and more.
Prepare the Salsa
Combine diced pineapple, cored and diced English cucumber, diced jalapeno, diced red onion, fresh squeezed lime juice, salt and chopped cilantro in a mixing bowl. Set aside.
Prepare the Chicken
Cube the chicken and place it in a mixing bowl. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder and paprika. Toss until well coated then add the cornstarch. Toss again.
Heat avocado oil in a skillet over medium high heat and add the prepared chicken.
Saute for 7-8 minutes until crispy, then add the BBQ sauce. Toss until well coated and simmer for 3-4 more minutes. You want the sauce to caramelize and get sticky. Remove the chicken from the heat. The chicken should be 165 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure doneness.
