Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large bowl, combine 1/2 cup pineapple juice, 1/4 cup spiced rum, 2 tbsp lime juice, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tsp ground allspice, 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 2 tbsp vegetable oil to create the marinade.
  2. Step 2: Add 1.5 lbs cubed chicken breast to the marinade, toss to coat thoroughly, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to infuse flavor.
  3. Step 3: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Thread marinated chicken cubes alternately with 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks onto 8 soaked wooden skewers.
  4. Step 4: Grill the skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning every 3 minutes until chicken is cooked through with internal temperature reaching 165°F and edges are lightly charred.
  5. Step 5: Remove from grill, let rest for 5 minutes, then serve warm with lime wedges.
