Hawaiian Huli Huli Chicken

Ingredients

12 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes (24 cubes) 
1 cup fresh pineapple, diced (24 pieces) 
8 6-inch wooden or metal skewers

Sauce

2 tablespoons ketchup
2 tablespoons light soy sauce
2 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons orange juice
1 teaspoon garlic, minced (about 1 clove)
1 teaspoon ginger, minced


Directions

Preheat a broiler or grill on medium-high heat. Thread three chicken cubes and three pineapple chunks alternately on each skewer. Combine ingredients for sauce and mix well; separate into two bowls and set one aside for later.

Grill skewers for 3–5 minutes on each side. Brush or spoon sauce onto chicken and pineapple about every other minute. Discard the sauce when done with this step.

To prevent chicken from drying out, finish cooking skewers in a 350°F oven immediately after grilling (to a minimum internal temperature of 165°F). Using a clean brush or spoon, coat with sauce from the set-aside bowl before serving.

Note: If you use wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before using.
