BBQ Pineapple Chicken Kabobs
Description
This recipe marinates chicken chunks in a sauce made from barbecue sauce, teriyaki sauce, minced garlic, and freshly grated ginger. The marinade imparts a savory and slightly sweet flavor profile with aromatic notes from garlic and ginger. After marinating for a minimum of two hours (or up to eight), the chicken is threaded onto skewers alternately with fresh pineapple chunks, red bell pepper pieces, and sweet onion segments.
Brushed with canola oil and seasoned with salt and pepper, the kabobs are cooked over a medium heat grill, turning occasionally until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. During the last few minutes, the reserved marinade is brushed on the kabobs for extra glaze and flavor.
The combination of tender, grilled chicken with caramelized pineapple and crisp vegetables makes these kabobs a balanced and flavorful option. They are well suited for summer barbecues or casual dinners.
