Hawaiian Chicken Skewers
Description
I love grilling with skewers, especially with a blend of summer flavors like juicy pineapple, colorful bell peppers, and a spicy red onion. Brightly colored veggies are loaded with too many health benefits to name! These are perfect for outdoor grilling while spending time with family and friends.
Ingredients
Instructions
-
If you have wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes so they do not burn. Whisk the marinade ingredients together in a medium bowl (See marinade ingredients under "notes" below).
-
Reserve about ¼ of the marinade for later in a small bowl. Add to the chicken and to the medium bowl to soak in the marinate. Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour.
-
Slice and prepare the remaining items for the skewers into bite-sized pieces. When you are almost done threading, turn the grill or the oven to 350°F.
-
If grilling is your choice, you'll want to check the skewers about every 5 minutes while continuing to turn. If you are baking in the oven, turn the skewers after 10 minutes and continue cooking.
-
If you'd like the chicken to be crispy on the exterior, turn up the grill to 450°F or broil in the oven. Turn the skewers after 1 or 2 minutes. Remove when the chicken is cooked through. Using a BBQ brush, slather on the reserved marinade to each skewer. Enjoy!!!
Note
Marinade for the chicken:
5 tbsp coconut aminos
1 tbsp avocado oil
2 tbsp honey
2 tsp fresh grated ginger (or dried)
