Follow these simple steps to create your amazing Pineapple Chicken Kabobs:
- Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, ground ginger, and black pepper. Add the chicken chunks and mix well. Cover and marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
- Prepare the Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
- Cut the Vegetables: While the chicken marinates, cut the bell pepper and red onion into large squares.
- Assemble the Kabobs: Thread the marinated chicken, pineapple chunks, bell pepper squares, and red onion pieces onto the skewers in alternating patterns.
- Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C).
- Grill the Kabobs: Place the assembled kabobs on the grill and cook for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
- Char the Pineapple: For added flavor, allow the pineapple to caramelize slightly on the grill for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Serve Immediately: Once fully cooked, remove the kabobs from the grill and serve hot.
By following these straightforward steps, you'll ensure that your Pineapple Chicken Kabobs will be bursting with flavor and visually appealing!
