Preparation and Marination
- In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, pineapple juice, brown sugar, olive oil, garlic powder, ginger powder, black pepper, and salt to create the marinade.

Cooking the Chicken
- Preheat the grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and let excess marinade drip off.
- Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side until cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Assembling the Sandwich
- Mix mayonnaise and sriracha sauce (if using) in a small bowl.
- Toast the sandwich buns on the grill until golden brown.
- Spread a generous amount of shredded lettuce on the bottom half of each bun, followed by sliced grilled chicken, avocado, and fresh pineapple.
- Drizzle the spicy mayo over the filling and place the top of the bun on each sandwich.
