Preparation
  1. Marinate the chicken by combining chicken thighs with jerk seasoning and olive oil in a mixing bowl. Let sit for at least 15 minutes.

  3. Grill marinated chicken thighs for 6-7 minutes per side until cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F). Let rest.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine coleslaw mix, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, and salt and pepper. Toss thoroughly and let sit.
  5. Assemble the sandwich with grilled chicken, grilled pineapple, and coleslaw on the bun.
  6. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley and serve.
