Equipment
- Grill
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup pineapple juice
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 to 2 tablespoons favorite hot sauce
- 1 tablespoon garlic paste or minced garlic

Instructions
- Put the pineapple juice, soy sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, hot sauce, garlic, and ginger in a saucepan. Bring this mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 to 12 minutes, this will thicken the sauce.
- While the sauce cools, cut the chicken into inch size pieces and place them in a gallon size plastic bag. Add a few spoonfuls of the Hawaiian BBQ sauce and massage the bag until the chicken is coated. Marinate in the fridge for at least an hour or overnight.
- Drain the liquid from the pineapple can and cut the onion into similar size pieces as the pineapple and chicken. Put the chicken, pineapple, and onion on 6 kabob skewers and season them with kosher salt and pepper.
- Preheat the grill to medium high heat. Grill the skewers for 10 to 12 minutes total, turning a few times and brushing with some of the Hawaiian BBQ sauce.
- Serve with remaining sauce on the side for dipping.
