Another idea: if it's a relatively sour pineapple that's out of season, blend it into juice and use it to brine/marinate chicken.  Pretty much any kind of marinade will work with pineapple, I like to mix into the pineapple juice whatever I have on hand, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, sake/mirin, etc.  If I have citrus, whether lemon, lime, orange, mandarins, etc, it always comes out super tasty :)  If you need a starting place, google "El Pollo Loco copycat chicken marinade". 

 

Little bit of a waste possibly, since pineapple juice is way cheaper from the can versus fresh, but sometimes the grocery store pineapples are picked way too early for transport.
