Sticky Pineapple Chicken Skewers
Sweet-savory chicken skewers glazed with pineapple, soy, and ginger, then cooked until sticky at the edges.
Steps
- 1
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 15 minutes.
- 2
In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, ketchup, ginger, garlic, oil, and salt.
- 3
Add the chicken and toss to coat. Thread the chicken and pineapple onto skewers.
- 4
Heat a grill pan, outdoor grill, or broiler to medium-high. Cook the skewers for 10 to 12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and lightly charred.
- 5
Brush any remaining marinade over the skewers during the last couple of minutes of cooking so they turn glossy and sticky.
- 6
Finish with scallions and lime wedges if using, then serve hot.

- Serve them over coconut rice with extra lime for a backyard-dinner situation.
- Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a little sriracha to the marinade if you want heat.
- Thread pieces of red onion or bell pepper onto the skewers to make them more substantial.
- Broil the cooked skewers for 1 extra minute if you want deeper caramelized edges.
