- Mix the soy sauce, pineapple juice, olive oil, minced garlic, ginger and brown sugar together to create the marinade. Pour the marinade over the chicken and pineapple, then cover and refrigerate for 3 hours.
- Thread the pineapple and chicken onto the skewers, alternating. Reserve the marinade for brushing.
- Preheat the grill over medium-high heat. Brush the grates with olive oil.

Notes
- I used 8" bamboo skewers. If you use bamboo skewers, you should soak them in water before use. You can also use metal skewers.
- These pineapple chicken skewers pair well with this homemade BBQ sauce and side dishes such as Roasted Garlic Sesame Broccoli, a Japanese Cucumber Salad, or this yummy Asian Slaw. You can also make Lettuce Wraps with them. I hope you enjoy!
