Categories     main-dish

Time 2h37m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/3 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup dark rum
3 tablespoons firmly packed dark brown sugar
1 bunch scallions (white and green parts), roughly chopped
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 Scotch bonnet chile, stemmed, seeded, and minced
2 tablespoons Pickapeppa sauce
1 tablespoon freshly grated peeled ginger
1 tablespoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (about 1 1/4 pounds), cut into large cubes
1 bunch scallions (white and green parts), cut into 2-inch pieces
1/2 fresh pineapple, peeled, cored, and cubed
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Special Equipment: 6 long skewers
  • Pulse the vinegar, rum, brown sugar, scallions, garlic, chile, Pickapeppa sauce, ginger, allspice, and pumpkin pie spice in a food processor to make a slightly chunky sauce. Heat the oil in a medium skillet and cook the sauce over medium heat, stirring, until the oil is absorbed and the sauce thickens slightly, about 3 minutes. Cool.
