# Ingredients:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
1 fresh pineapple, cut into chunks
02 -
8 oz regular bacon strips (avoid thick cuts)
03 -
1 lb chicken thighs, no skin or bones
04 -
3/4 cup of teriyaki sauce you made yourself
# Steps:
01 -
Slice the chicken into small chunks perfect for skewering. Leave it for now.
02 -
Take the bacon strips out of their wrapping. Gently stretch them along their length and cut into halves if center-cut, otherwise thirds.
03 -
Set up your station with chicken, bacon pieces, and the pineapple chunks. Wrap each chicken cube in a slice of bacon, slide it onto a skewer, and follow with a pineapple piece. Keep repeating this pattern: two bacon-wrapped chicken pieces, then a pineapple.
04 -
Put your skewers in a large baking dish (9x13 size works). Pour teriyaki sauce over the skewers, saving a bit less than 1/4 cup for brushing later. Cover and stick it in the fridge for 4 to 8 hours to let the flavors soak in.
05 -
Turn your grill on and let it heat to a temperature between 350ºF and 400ºF.
06 -
Lay the loaded skewers over the grill grates. Brush some of the saved teriyaki sauce over them. Grill for 7 minutes, then flip them over, baste again, and keep cooking another 7 minutes until the bacon gets crispy and the chicken is fully cooked.
