Instructions

Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1/4 cup pineapple juice, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp grated ginger, 2 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp sriracha sauce, 1 tbsp lime juice, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper to create the marinade.
Step 2: Add 1.5 lbs cut chicken thighs and 1 cup pineapple chunks to the marinade, tossing to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor.
Step 3: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Thread marinated chicken pieces and pineapple chunks alternately onto 8 soaked wooden skewers.
Step 4: Grill skewers for 4-5 minutes per side, turning carefully, until chicken is cooked through and pineapple has grill marks and caramelized edges.
Step 5: Remove from grill and brush any remaining marinade over the skewers for extra glaze. Serve hot with lime wedges if desired.
