A delightful recipe for grilled chicken and bacon skewers, paired with pineapple and vegetables, perfect for a summer barbecue.
Combine the soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped scallions, and sesame oil in a mixing bowl.
Mix the marinade thoroughly to ensure all flavors are well combined.
Reserve a small portion of the marinade for basting during grilling.
Keep the reserved marinade separate to avoid cross-contamination.
Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and marinate in the prepared mixture for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator.
Marinating the chicken longer enhances the flavor.
Wrap each chicken piece with a slice of bacon and thread onto skewers, alternating with pineapple, mushrooms, and bell pepper.
Ensure the ingredients are evenly spaced for consistent cooking.
Preheat the grill and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Use a high-quality oil with a high smoke point for greasing the grill.
Grill the skewers for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally and basting with the reserved marinade.
Cook until the bacon is crispy and the chicken is fully cooked.
Serve the skewers hot, garnished with additional chopped scallions if desired.
Pair with a side of rice or salad for a complete meal.
