Tips:

  • For tender and flavorful kabobs, use a flavorful cut of pork like pork shoulder or tenderloin.
  • Pork shoulder has more fat, so it will stay moist during grilling. Tenderloin is leaner, so it's important to marinate it before grilling to prevent it from drying out.
  • Use wooden skewers for your kabobs. Metal skewers can conduct heat too quickly, causing the pork to overcook.
  • Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before using. This will help prevent them from burning on the grill.
  • Make sure the pork is cut into evenly sized pieces so that they cook evenly.
  • Marinate the pork for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will help tenderize the pork and add flavor.
  • Grill the kabobs over medium heat, turning them occasionally, until the pork is cooked through.
  • Pork is considered safe to eat when its internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit (63 degrees Celsius).
  • Serve the kabobs with your favorite dipping sauce, such as barbecue sauce, teriyaki sauce, or tzatziki sauce.
