8 6-inch wooden skewers

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 (from the bowl that wasn’t set aside) 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.
Tip:
Use leftover chicken and sauce leftover from step 5 of the “Fried” Rice and Chicken.
Note: Skewers have sharp edges, so monitor younger children while eating, or take the chicken off the skewers for them.

Children can help mix the sauce and thread the chicken and pineapple on the skewers.
