Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your delicious Hawaiian Chicken Pineapple Kabobs:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, olive oil, garlic, ginger, and cornstarch if desired.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken pieces in the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
3. Prepare the Skewers: While the chicken marinates, soak wooden skewers in water to prevent burning. This step is not necessary for metal skewers.
4. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat while you assemble the kabobs.
5. Assemble the Kabobs: Thread the marinated chicken, pineapple chunks, and bell pepper pieces onto the skewers. Alternate between chicken and vegetables to create a colorful display.
6. Season: Lightly sprinkle salt and pepper over the assembled skewers for extra flavor.
7. Grill the Kabobs: Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
8. Check Doneness: Ensure that the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
9. Remove from Heat: Once cooked, remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
10. Serve: Serve hot off the grill and enjoy your amazing tropical feast!
