Ingredients
Chicken breast, cut into 1 inch cubes – 1.5 lbs (680g)
Fresh pineapple, cut into chunks – Enough for alternating on skewers
Red onion, cut into chunks – 1 medium (150g)
Honey – 1/4 cup (85g)
Sriracha sauce – 2 tbsp (30ml)
Olive oil – 2 tbsp (30ml)

Instructions
1-Prep the ingredients: Cut chicken into 1-inch cubes, pineapple and red onion into similar chunks, mince garlic, and soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes.
2-Make the marinade: Whisk together honey, sriracha, olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, cayenne, salt, and black pepper until glossy.
3-Marinate the chicken: Toss chicken in marinade, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours (or overnight, but no more than 24 hours).
4-Assemble the skewers: Thread marinated chicken onto skewers, alternating with pineapple and red onion, leaving small gaps between pieces for even cooking.
5-Preheat the grill and cook: Heat grill to 400°F (200°C), then reduce to medium-high; grill skewers for 5-7 minutes per side until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
6-Serve immediately: Place skewers on a platter, drizzle with honey or serve with hot sauce, and pair with grilled corn or salads.

💡 Soak wooden skewers in cold water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
🌡️ Use a meat thermometer and pull the skewers when chicken hits 165°F (74°C) for perfectly juicy results.
🍍 Leave a small gap between each piece on the skewer so heat circulates evenly and everything chars instead of steaming.
