Instructions
Making Grilled Pineapple Chicken Skewers is easy when you follow these steps:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, minced ginger, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Whisk until well mixed.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken pieces in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour half of the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it’s well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Prepare Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 15 minutes to prevent burning. This step is not necessary for metal skewers.
4. Assemble Skewers: Alternate threading the marinated chicken, pineapple chunks, and bell pepper pieces onto the skewers. Leave a little space between each piece for even cooking.
5. Preheat Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C).
6. Grill the Skewers: Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink inside and has nice grill marks.
7. Glaze with Remaining Marinade: During the last few minutes of grilling, brush the skewers with the remaining marinade for added flavor.
8. Serve: Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
