Ingredients

  • For the huli huli sauce:
  • ⅓ cup ketchup
  • ⅓ cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup brown cane sugar
  • ¼ cup honey
  • ¼ cup sherry
  • 1-2 Tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1-2- more pieces fresh ginger crushed
  • 6 cloves garlic finely minced
  • Dash or two of Worchestershire sauce
  • Sriracha or Asian chili paste or red pepper flakes to taste
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • OR - 1 bottle of the Original Huli Huli Chicken Sauce
  • For the chicken kebobs:
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast cut into 1” cubes
  • 1 red bell pepper cut into 1” cubes
  • 1 green bell pepper cut into 1” cubes
  • 1 sweet onion cut into 1” cubes
  • ½ pineapple cut into 1” cubes

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together sauce ingredients well, so that sugar dissolves. Divide in half and store half for basting later.
  2. Soak bamboo skewers in water at least 30 minutes, preferably overnight.
  3. Cut chicken breasts into 1" cubes.
  4. Place chicken in plastic bag or large bowl and cover with half huli huli sauce to marinate. Marinate at least 30 minutes, preferably overnight in the refrigerator.
  5. After chicken is marinated, preheat grill to medium high - between 425 and 450 degrees.
  6. Cut onion, pineapple, and peppers into 1" cubes.
  7. Remove skewers from water. Slide chicken, peppers, pineapple, and onion onto skewers, alternating as you place on the skewers.
  8. Brush a small bit of marinade onto the skewers and place onto the grill. Discard any leftover marinade and be sure to wash hands well after handling raw chicken.
  9. Cook chicken for 5 minutes. Then, turn the skewers to the opposite side, and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken registers 165F on an instant read thermometer. 
  10. Brush the kabobs with huli huli sauce you saved to baste with and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or just until the huli huli sauce is warmed through and becomes a bit sticky.
  11. Remove from grill and let rest 5 minutes - garnish with fresh chopped parsley or cilantro if desired.
  12. Enjoy!
