4 sprigs fresh tarragon (2 sprigs chopped, 2 whole sprigs for roasting), plus more for garnish
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 whole chicken (about 4 1/2 pounds), cut into pieces
2 cups chopped fresh pineapple
8 shallots (2 coarsely chopped, 6 halved lengthwise)
2 tablespoons rice-wine vinegar
