These grilled Hawaiian chicken kabobs feature juicy chicken, caramelized pineapple, and a sticky-sweet teriyaki glaze, perfect for quick and flavorful weeknight meals or weekend cookouts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1½-inch cubes
  • 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks, roughly 1-inch pieces
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1½-inch squares
  • 1 green bell pepper, cut into 1½-inch squares
  • 1 red onion, cut into wedges (optional)
  • ½ cup teriyaki sauce (homemade or store-bought)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Wooden or metal skewers (soaked if wooden)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the marinade: In a bowl, whisk together ½ cup teriyaki sauce, 2 tablespoons olive oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and 1 tablespoon honey.
  2. Marinate the chicken: Add the chicken cubes to the bowl and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, up to 2 hours.
  3. Prep the veggies and pineapple: Chop pineapple, bell peppers, and onion into roughly 1½-inch chunks.
  4. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (around 375°F / 190°C).
  5. Assemble the kabobs: Thread chicken, pineapple, bell pepper, and onion alternately onto skewers, leaving space between pieces.
  6. Grill the kabobs: Place skewers on the grill and cook for 12-15 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes. Brush with extra teriyaki glaze during the last 5 minutes.
  7. Check for doneness: Chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), and pineapple should be lightly charred.
  8. Rest and serve: Let kabobs rest for 5 minutes off the heat before serving.

Notes

Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. Marinate chicken for at least 20 minutes for best flavor. Brush glaze on kabobs during the last 5 minutes of grilling to avoid burning. Let kabobs rest 5 minutes after grilling to lock in juices. If glaze burns, move kabobs to cooler part of grill or reduce heat.
