Instructions
Creating Hawaiian Chicken Skewers is straightforward if you follow these steps:
1. Soak Your Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
2. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, mix soy sauce, honey, olive oil, rice vinegar, minced garlic, ground ginger, salt, and black pepper.
3. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken pieces into the marinade and stir well to ensure they are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
4. Prep Vegetables: While the chicken marinates, chop the bell pepper and red onion into bite-sized pieces.
5. Assemble the Skewers: Thread the marinated chicken, pineapple cubes, bell peppers, and onion onto the skewers, alternating ingredients for a colorful presentation.
6. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat.
7. Grill the Skewers: Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are slightly charred.
8. Check Doneness: Ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C) before serving.
9. Rest and Serve: Once cooked, allow the skewers to rest for a few minutes before serving.
