Ingredients
Scale
- 6 Boneless, Skinless Chicken Thighs
- 6 Skewer Sticks
- 1 cup Pineapple Chunks & Juice
- 1 Green Pepper (Diced)
- 1 Onion (Diced)
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 Garlic Clove (Crushed)

- 3/4 cup Sugar
- 1/2 cup Distilled Vinegar
- 2 tbsp Gluten-Free Soy Sauce
- 1 tbsp Ketchup
- 1/4 cup Cornstarch
- 1/2 tsp Sesame Seeds
Instructions
- Begin by preparing the skewer sticks, add the pepper, onion and pineapple to each stick then carefully place the chicken on the sticks, then additional pepper, onion, and pineapple. If needed, slice the chicken thighs in half to make them easier to place on the skewer stick.
- Warm up the olive oil in a medium sized sauce pan on medium-high heat, add in the garlic clove, 1 1/2 cups water, sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, and the reserved pineapple juice.
- Let this warm up to a boil, then whisk in the ketchup, 1/4 cup water, and cornstarch.
- Pour 1/4 cup of the sauce into a small bowl and reserve the rest.
- Brush the 1/4 cup sauce over the chicken and let sit for about 20 minutes.
- While it is sitting, warm the grill up to medium-high heat, 400°F.
- Place the skewers on the grill and cook on both sides for about 10-15 minutes, when rotating them add additional sauce. The internal temperature should reach at least 165°F before serving.
- Let chicken rest 5 minutes, then serve.
Notes
- Make sure to soak the skewers in water for 30 minutes before use to prevent burning.
- Feel free to customize the vegetables based on your preferences.
