3 Tbsp brown sugar
1 Tbsp sesame oil
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp garlic powder
8 boneless chicken breast, cut into 2" pieces
1 20 oz can(s) pineapple chunks, drained
1/2 c your favorite bbq sauce (I love Sunset Gourmet's sweet & spicy brown sugar bourbon sauce)

Steps:

  • 1. In a shallow glass dish, mix the soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic powder.
  • 2. Stir the chicken pieces and pineapple into the marinade until well coated.
  • 3. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
  • 4. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grate. Thread chicken and pineapple alternately onto skewers.
  • 5. Grill 15 to 20 minutes or until chicken juices run clear.
  • 6. Turn occasionally and baste with bbq sauce.

Tips:

  • To ensure the chicken is cooked evenly, cut the pieces into uniform sizes.
  • For a more flavorful marinade, use fresh pineapple juice instead of canned.
  • If you don't have wooden skewers, you can use metal skewers or even toothpicks.
  • To prevent the chicken from sticking to the skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before using.
  • For a crispy exterior, grill the kabobs over medium-high heat. If you prefer a more tender texture, grill them over medium heat.
  • Serve the kabobs with your favorite dipping sauce, such as teriyaki sauce, sweet and sour sauce, or a simple soy sauce mixture.
