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.

The recipe as it stands is excellent-- wouldn't change a thing. Adults and kids loved it. The sauce is super easy and I have used it as a glaze for other dishes as well, such as pork, chicken fingers, and meatballs. If not using the pineapple, I add a some orange or pineapple juice to the sauce to get the fruity componet into it.

I expected good chicken, but this chicken was GREAT! SO moist and tender.. really amazing. I could taste the flavor of the pineapple through out the chicken and the bbq sauce was so perfect with the other ingredients. It was SO easy to make too!! Perfect! Oh, and we used chicken breast instead of thigh. I will definitely make this again. Maybe next weekend!
