Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks (or canned, drained well)
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1/2 red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
- For the Marinade:
- 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp sriracha or red pepper flakes (optional, for a slight kick)
- Wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
- 1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, rice vinegar, and sriracha (if using). Reserve 1/4 cup of this mixture for glazing. Add chicken to the remaining marinade, toss to coat, and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 4 hours. Cut bell peppers, red onion, and pineapple into 1-inch pieces.
- 2. Assemble Kabobs: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes. Thread chicken, pineapple, bell peppers, and red onion onto skewers, alternating ingredients.
- 3. Grill Kabobs: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (375-400°F). Lightly oil grill grates. Place skewers on the grill and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until chicken is cooked through (internal temp 165°F).
- 4. Glaze & Serve: During the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, brush kabobs generously with the reserved marinade. Continue grilling until caramelized. Remove from grill and serve immediately.
