– 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks (or canned, drained)
– 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
– 1 green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
– 1 medium onion, cut into wedges

– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon salt

– Skewers (wooden or metal)
Instructions
Creating delicious BBQ Pineapple Chicken Kabobs can be effortless if you follow these steps:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a large bowl, add the BBQ sauce, olive oil, soy sauce, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until combined.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and mix until they are fully coated. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes; longer for more flavor.
3. Prepare the Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 15-20 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
4. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 400°F (200°C).
5. Assemble the Kabobs: Begin skewer assembly by adding chicken, followed by a piece of pineapple, then bell peppers, and onion. Repeat until the skewers are full, leaving some space between items for even cooking.
6. Grill the Kabobs: Once assembled, place the kabobs on the preheated grill. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken is cooked through and has nice char marks.
7. Check for Doneness: Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Optionally, brush with extra BBQ sauce during the last few minutes of grilling for added flavor.
8. Remove from Grill: When done, remove the kabobs from the grill and allow them to rest for a few minutes before serving.
