GRILLED PINEAPPLE CHICKEN SKEWERS

Grilled Pineapple Chicken Skewers combine sweet, tangy, and savoury flavours, making them an ideal choice for summer BBQs or a quick weeknight dinner. The juicy pineapple chunks complement the tender chicken, marinated in a simple yet flavour-packed soy sauce, honey, and garlic blend. The sweet honey and savoury soy sauce create a balanced glaze, enhanced with a fresh bite of garlic powder. Grilling these skewers brings out the natural sweetness of the pineapple while perfectly caramelising the chicken for a tasty, healthy, and satisfying dish.

PREPARATION

  • Prepare The Marinade: In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Whisk the mixture until smooth and well combined.
  • Marinate The Chicken: Place the chicken cubes in the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes or up to 1 hour for maximum flavour absorption.
  • Assemble The Skewers: Thread the marinated chicken cubes and pineapple chunks onto skewers, alternating between the two. Ensure the pieces are spread out even when cooking.
  • Preheat The Grill: While the chicken marinates, preheat your grill to medium to high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent the skewers from sticking.
  • Grill The Skewers: Place the skewers on the hot grill and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side. Turn occasionally to ensure the chicken cooks evenly and a lovely roast is created.
  • Serve Immediately: Remove the skewers from the grill and serve hot. These skewers pair perfectly with a light salad or rice for a complete meal.

PREP TIME

15 minutes (including marinating time)

COOKING TIME

8-10 minutes

TIPS

  • Pineapple Sweetness: Use fresh, ripe pineapple on the grill for maximum sweetness and juiciness.
  • Skewer Safety: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from burning.
  • Even Cooking: Cut the chicken into similar-sized cubes to ensure they cook evenly on the grill.

VARIATIONS

  • Spicy Kick: Add a pinch of chilli flakes or cayenne pepper to the marinade for a spicy twist.
  • Vegetarian Option: Swap chicken with firm tofu or mushrooms for a plant-based alternative.
  • Teriyaki Style: Replace soy sauce with teriyaki sauce and add a splash of sesame oil for a different flavour profile.
  • Citrus Flavour: Add a squeeze of lime or orange juice to the marinade for an extra zesty touch.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Fridge Storage: Store leftover skewers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
  • Reheating: Reheat skewers in the oven at 180°C (350°F) or on a stovetop grill until warmed.
  • Freezing: You can freeze uncooked marinated chicken for up to 1 month. Thaw overnight in the fridge before grilling.
