Hawaiian Teriyaki Chicken Kabobs

Print Recipe

Juicy grilled chicken kabobs marinated in teriyaki sauce, paired with sweet pineapple for a tropical flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1.5-inch cubes
  • 1 medium fresh pineapple, peeled and cut into chunks (about 2 cups)
  • Wood or metal skewers
  • ½ cup soy sauce (low-sodium preferred)
  • ¼ cup honey or brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp toasted sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp sriracha or chili flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine your marinade: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, toasted sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, and sriracha or chili flakes.
  2. Add the chicken: Take your cubed chicken thighs and add them to the marinade. Use your hands to ensure every piece is fully coated.
  3. Chill out: Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
  4. Grab your soaked skewers and start threading the chicken and pineapple alternately.
  5. Preheat your grill over medium heat.
  6. Get grilling: Once your grill is hot, place the kabobs on the grates. Grill them for about 10-15 minutes, turning every few minutes.
  7. Check for doneness: The kabobs are ready when the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  8. Let them rest: Remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for about 5 minutes.

Notes

For extra flavor, brush the kabobs with marinade during the last few minutes of grilling after boiling it for safety.
