Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 large fresh pineapple, peeled, cored, and cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Wooden or metal skewers

Instructions

  1. Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, ginger, and cayenne pepper to make the glaze.
  3. Place chicken cubes in a separate bowl and pour half of the glaze over them. Toss to coat and let marinate for 20 minutes. Reserve the remaining glaze for basting.
  4. Thread the marinated chicken and pineapple chunks alternately onto the soaked skewers.
  5. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates.
  6. Place the skewers on the hot grill. Cook for 10 to 12 minutes, turning occasionally.
  7. During the last few minutes of cooking, brush the skewers generously with the reserved glaze.
  8. Cook until the chicken is cooked through and the pineapple is lightly charred.
  9. Remove from the grill and let rest briefly before serving.

Notes

  • If you prefer a thicker glaze, simmer the reserved half on the stovetop for 3-5 minutes until slightly reduced.
  • Cut all chicken pieces to a uniform size for even cooking.
  • For extra flavor, marinate the chicken for up to 4 hours.
