Categories: Grilling

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs. chicken breast tenders or strips
  • 1 cup pineapple juice
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Directions

  1. Put chicken in a large Ziploc bag set in a shallow dish. Stir together pineapple juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, and crushed red pepper in a small bowl until sugar dissolves; pour over chicken. Seal bag, massage to coat, and chill 30 minutes to 2 hours. Meanwhile, if using wooden skewers, soak 6 in water 30 minutes.

  2. Remove chicken from bag, shaking off and discarding marinade. Thread chicken onto metal or soaked wooden skewers. Sprinkle with salt.

  3. Preheat an outdoor grill to medium heat and lightly oil grate. Add skewers, cover grill, and cook until juices run clean, about 5 minutes per side.
