Take-out Tuesday, Sweet Chili Teriyaki Chicken, Pineapple & Smoked Sausage Kebabs

6 years ago

I’m having a lot of fun with pineapple this month

I love having fresh pineapple in the refrigerator, it’s such a versatile ingredient

A leftover piece of boneless chicken, some smoked sausage links from the freezer, and fresh pineapple make a very tasty combo!

We love the Soy Vay brand of Teriyaki sauce, it comes in several different flavors. I had this Island Teriyaki on hand, and marinated the chicken for about 4 hours

Grillmaster HHjr prepped the kebabs in a matter of minutes

He did this about an hour before grilling so the kebabs could further marinate with a little Sweet Chili Sauce

Sweet Chili Sauce is another pantry staple, it is sweet, tangy, with just little burst of heat

Coated with Sweet Chili Sauce, the kebabs went into the refrigerator until cooking

We made a basting sauce with a mixture of both the Teriyaki Marinade and the Sweet Chili Sauce

Brush the sauce on kebabs during cooking, whether you are cooking in the oven* or on the grill

*you can cook the kebabs in the oven on 375 for about 30 minutes or until chicken is done

Such a great combo of textures and flavors

By the way, this would make great appetizers too!

Cut the sausage into smaller pieces, skewer with a piece of pineapple and bake or grill. Make chicken and pineapple ones too.

Great for game day!
