Instructions

Step 1: In a blender or food processor, combine 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks, 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp sriracha sauce, 1 tsp grated fresh ginger, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tbsp lime juice. Blend until smooth to create the marinade.
Step 2: Place 1 lb cut chicken thigh pieces in a large bowl and pour the marinade over them. Mix thoroughly to coat all pieces. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
Step 3: Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto 8 soaked wooden skewers.
Step 4: Brush the grill grates with 1 tbsp vegetable oil to prevent sticking. Grill the skewers for 4-5 minutes per side, turning once, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
Step 5: Remove skewers from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
