Instructions

Prepare the Marinade

In a bowl, combine soy sauce, olive oil, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.

Pro tip: For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade.

Marinate the Chicken

Place the chicken cubes in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, seal or cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

Pro tip: Marinate overnight for even more flavor.

Prepare the Skewers

Thread the marinated chicken, bell peppers, onion, and pineapple onto skewers, alternating ingredients.

Pro tip: Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before using to prevent burning.

Grill the Skewers

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.

Pro tip: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Tips & Tricks
