Prepare the Grill or BBQ:
- Preheat your grill rack or BBQ to medium-high heat. Alternatively, if you prefer, you can also use the broiler function in your oven. The choice is yours!
-
Thread the Skewers:
- Once the chicken has marinated to perfection, it’s time to assemble the skewers.
- Drain the marinade from the chicken and discard it. We’ve extracted all the flavor we need!
- Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto skewers, alternating with juicy pineapple chunks for a burst of tropical sweetness. If you’re using wooden skewers, be sure to soak them in water beforehand to prevent charring.
-
Cook to Perfection:
- Place the assembled skewers onto the preheated grill or BBQ, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
- Cook the skewers until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and the pineapple is caramelized, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking. This should take approximately 15 minutes.
- If you’re using the broiler, arrange the skewers on a baking sheet and place them under the broiler, keeping a close eye to prevent burning. The cooking time remains the same.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- Once the skewers are cooked to golden perfection, remove them from the heat and serve immediately.
- Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs or a drizzle of extra honey for an added touch of sweetness.
- These Yangtze Chicken Skewers are best enjoyed hot off the grill, accompanied by a side of steamed rice or crisp Asian slaw.
Notes:
- Feel free to customize the marinade to suit your taste preferences. Add a dash of chili flakes for a spicy kick or a splash of rice vinegar for extra tanginess.
- If fresh pineapple is not readily available, canned pineapple chunks make a convenient and delicious alternative.
- These skewers are perfect for outdoor gatherings or backyard BBQs. Prepare a double batch to feed a crowd, and watch them disappear in no time!
