Instructions
Creating BBQ Pineapple Chicken Kabobs is simple and fun. Follow these steps to make your kabobs:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a large bowl, mix the BBQ sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Add the cubed chicken to the marinade. Stir well to coat all pieces. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).
3. Preheat the Grill: While the chicken marinates, preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
4. Assemble the Kabobs: Thread the marinated chicken, pineapple chunks, bell pepper pieces, and onion wedges onto the skewers, alternating ingredients as desired.
5. Grill the Kabobs: Place the skewers on the grill. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
6. Baste with BBQ Sauce: During the last few minutes of cooking, brush additional BBQ sauce on the kabobs for extra flavor.
7. Remove and Rest: Once cooked, remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
