Grilled Pineapple and Chicken Teriyaki Skewers: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Clara Walker
  • Total Time: 7 minute

Ingredients

– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
– 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks
– ½ cup teriyaki sauce
– 2 tablespoons soy sauce
– 1 tablespoon honey (optional for added sweetness)
– 1 tablespoon sesame oil
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Skewers (soaked in water if using wooden skewers)


Instructions

Preparing Grilled Pineapple and Chicken Teriyaki Skewers is a breeze when you follow these simple steps:

1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, mix the teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, minced garlic, and ginger. Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and add to the marinade. Allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.

2. Preheat the Grill: While the chicken is marinating, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. This will ensure even cooking when you’re ready to grill.

3. Prepare the Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes to prevent burning. Alternatively, you can use metal skewers.

4. Assemble the Skewers: Thread marinated chicken and pineapple chunks alternately onto the skewers. Ensure even spacing for proper cooking.

5. Season: Sprinkle salt and pepper over the skewers for additional flavor.

6. Grill the Skewers: Place skewers on the grill, cooking for about 15-20 minutes. Turn them every few minutes to achieve an even char on all sides. The chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

7. Check for Doneness: Once cooked, check the chicken for doneness, ensuring it is no longer pink in the center.

8. Remove and Rest: Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes to retain their juices.

9. Serve: Optionally, drizzle extra teriyaki sauce over the skewers before serving.

By following these straightforward steps, you’ll master the art of making these incredible skewers effortlessly.
