Notes
- Dude, you gotta try these Aloha Chicken Kabobs! They’re like a little trip to Hawaii on a skewer, seriously. Best part? You only need 10 ingredients to whip them up.
- Here’s the deal: cubed chicken gets marinated in a killer sauce with soy sauce, brown sugar (for that sweet caramelized goodness), and a hit of pineapple juice. Ginger and garlic add some zip, while a sprinkle of black pepper keeps things interesting. Want a little heat? Throw in some red pepper flakes, but be warned, it can sneak up on you!
- Once your chicken is nice and happy in the marinade, it’s time to get grilling! Thread those bad boys onto skewers with chunks of red and green bell pepper for some veggie action, and don’t forget the pineapple – gotta have that tropical sweetness.
- Grill those kabobs until the chicken is cooked through and the veggies are tender. We’re talking 8-10 minutes per side, but keep an eye on them so they don’t get dry.
- Now for the best part – dipping sauce! Teriyaki, sweet and sour, honey mustard – whatever your flavor fancy, go for it! These kabobs are perfect with a side of white or brown rice to soak up all those delicious juices.
