Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil. Whisk until smooth.
  2. Cut chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces, add to the marinade, and let sit covered in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
  3. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water. Thread marinated chicken and pineapple onto skewers.
  4. Preheat the grill to medium heat (350°F to 400°F) and brush grates with vegetable oil.

Notes

For best flavor, marinate overnight. Keep an eye on kabobs while grilling to avoid burning the pineapple. Use a thermometer to ensure chicken is cooked to 165°F (74°C).
