Ingredients

1 cup ketchup
1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup honey
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 whole garlic cloves
1 lemon, juiced
8 boneless skinless chicken thighs
1 fresh pineapple
16 wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
Extra-virgin olive oil, for brushing
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

In a saucepan over medium heat, add the ketchup, soy sauce, honey, mustard, sugar, garlic, and lemon juice. Bring to a simmer and cook gently until thickened, about 10 minutes. Set aside and cool.

Heat an outdoor grill or a grill pan. Cut each chicken thigh into 2 pieces. Peel the pineapple and cut it into 1 1/2-inch chunks. Alternating between the chicken and pineapple, thread the pieces onto the skewers. Brush them with olive oil and season them with salt and pepper. Remove the garlic cloves from the barbecue sauce and discard; put about half the sauce into a small bowl for later. Brush skewers with some of the sauce. Cook them on the grill, basting regularly with the barbecue sauce, until cooked through, about 10 to 15 minutes. Serve with reserved barbecue sauce on the side for dipping.

Love It, Love It, Love It
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My niece made this for my daughters wedding. People could not get enough. Instead of grilling she baked it due to time. ... She also used chicken breasts. It was so good everyone wanted the recipe. I am going to make it tonight but skip the skewers.Read more

So good!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I was looking for something to throw together based on chicken breasts and pineapple -- this was great! I baked the chicken... breasts and basted them with the sauce throughout cooking, adding some pineapple chunks toward the end. My husband and I loved it! Read more

They disappeared!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My boyfriend and I made these for a party last night. Literally half of them disappeared as soon as the plate hit the... table! We cut the chicken into pieces roughly the same size as the pineapple. Next time I'll double the recipe.Read more
