BBQ Pineapple Chicken Kabobs
So saucy, so sticky, and just so darn good! The chicken is perfectly tender with chunks of fresh pineapple, pepper and onion!
Happy July 4th!
I hope all of you will spend your day sunbathing, barbecuing and eating lots and lots of hot dogs.
We will be at a Dodger game, eating lots and lots of Dodger dogs, of course.
But since that’s a night game, most of our day will consist of these BBQ pineapple chicken kabobs!
With a super simple garlicky-bbq-teriyaki marinade, the chicken comes out so beautifully saucy, sticky, sweet and sour.
Combine that with chunks of fresh pineapple, red bell pepper and onion.
It’s just absolute perfection, especially with an ice cold margarita in your other hand.
