Grilled Hawaiian BBQ Chicken Kebabs

Homemade pineapple BBQ sauce makes these easy 20-minute Hawaiian bbq chicken kebabs SO flavorful you’ll want to put them on your grill all summer!

I recently mentioned that grilling season is going doooooooooown. I quite obviously was not kidding.

I quite obviously need to invest in a second grill maybe? Now accepting donations.

Now giving out payment in the form of Hawaiian bbq chicken kebabs. Small samples, mind you because it’s quite amazing and I’m like a 5-year old in the body of a 20-year old and thus, not quite inclined to share.

Can you hardly blame me? Look at that SAUCE. (!!!)

Also, there is a lot of it. Because Hawaiian-style BBQ sauce is something that I’ve recently decided must always be made in copious amounts. << it’s sweet, sticky, and spoonworthy.

And you will definitely become well-acquainted with that last point. ^^^

Other than making the sauce, there’s really not much else to these killer kebabs. Chicken cubes, onion, and pineapple get layered on your kebab skewers and ALL the sauce gets brushed on top.

Psssssst…my trick to making these kebabs super sauce-covered is quite simple. — use so.much.sauce. I brush the bbq sauce on before they grill, while they’re grilling, and afterwards too.

And then of course you need to have even more yet sauce on the side for dipping. Hey, in my defense when you find a good BBQ sauce you gotta go a little overboard with it.

And that is a very good thing. ♥
