Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup pineapple juice, 2 tbsp fresh lime juice, 1 tbsp honey, 1/2 tsp red chili flakes, 2 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper until well combined.
  2. Step 2: Add 1 lb chicken breast cut into 1-inch cubes to the marinade, tossing to coat thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to absorb flavors.
  3. Step 3: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto 8 soaked wooden skewers, leaving a small gap between pieces.
  4. Step 4: Grill the skewers for 4-5 minutes per side, turning once until the chicken is cooked through and has a light char, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F.
  5. Step 5: Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving with fresh lime wedges or a side salad.
