Easy Hawaiian Chicken Kabobs

Delicious Hawaiian Chicken Kabobs with a sweet and savory glaze, perfect for summer gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3/4 cup pineapple juice
  • 1/2 cup coconut aminos
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Frank’s Red Hot sauce
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon minced ginger
  • 1 1/2 lbs chicken thighs (skinless and boneless)
  • 20 oz can pineapple chunks
  • 6 kabob skewers
  • Sea salt and black pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the pineapple juice, coconut aminos, ketchup, brown sugar, Frank’s Red Hot sauce, minced garlic, and minced ginger until smooth.
  2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken thighs in a resealable plastic bag or a bowl. Pour about two-thirds of the marinade over the chicken, toss to coat, and seal the bag or cover the bowl.
  3. Prep the Pineapple: If you’re using canned pineapple, drain and pat the chunks dry with paper towels.
  4. Skewering Time!: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Thread the marinated chicken thighs and pineapple chunks alternately onto the skewers.
  5. Grill: Lightly oil the grill grates before placing your kabobs on. Grill the skewers for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally.
  6. Serve: Once cooked, remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.

Notes

For best flavor, marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, ideally a couple of hours. Adjust the spices according to your taste.
