Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
  • 1 cup fresh pineapple, cut into chunks
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons chipotle sauce (adjust based on heat preference)
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
  • Bamboo skewers (soaked in water for at least 30 minutes)

Instructions

To create Chipotle Pineapple Bang Bang Chicken Skewers, follow these straightforward steps:

  1. Prep the Skewers: If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
  2. Cut the Chicken: Dice the chicken into large, bite-sized chunks for even cooking.
  3. Make the Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, chipotle sauce, honey, minced garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  4. Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes for maximum flavor.
  5. Assemble the Skewers: alternately thread the marinated chicken and pineapple chunks onto the soaked skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
  6. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high temperature, ensuring it is properly oiled to prevent sticking.
  7. Grill the Skewers: Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
  8. Check for Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  9. Remove and Rest: Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
  10. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chopped cilantro over the skewers for added color and freshness.
