Grilled Pineapple Chicken Skewers
The soy-honey marinade does double duty as a glaze, brushed on again in the last few minutes so the skewers come off the grill with a sticky, caramelized edge instead of a dry one.
Method
Marinate
Whisk the soy sauce, honey, vinegar, garlic, and ginger together. Toss the chicken in half the marinade and let sit for at least 30 minutes; reserve the rest for basting.
Thread the skewers
Thread the chicken, pineapple, bell pepper, and onion onto skewers, alternating as you go.
Grill
Grill over medium-high heat for 10–12 minutes, turning every few minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and charred in spots.
Glaze and finish
Brush with the reserved marinade during the last 2 minutes of grilling.
Rest and serve
Let the skewers rest for 3 minutes before serving.
Kitchen notes
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20 minutes first so they don't scorch on the grill. Great served over coconut rice.
