Ingredients
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/3 cup honey
2/3 cup soy sauce
1/2 tsp ground garlic pepper
2 tsp minced garlic
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into 1-inch cubes
5 small red onions cut into 2-inch pieces
2 red bell peppers cut into 2-inch pieces
2 zucchini cut into similar size pieces
1 pineapple cut and cubed
skewers
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the vegetable oil, honey, soy sauce, ground garlic pepper, and minced garlic. Stir well to blend all the ingredients.
Place the cubed chicken in a Ziploc bag. Cut all vegetables to a uniform size and place them in a separate Ziploc bag.
Reserve 1/4 cup of the marinade for later use. Divide the remaining marinade evenly, adding half to the chicken bag and the other half to the vegetable bag. Seal the bags and turn them several times to ensure all pieces are fully coated.
Refrigerate the marinating bags for 4 to 6 hours, turning the bags occasionally to keep everything evenly marinated.
Preheat the grill to medium heat.
While the grill is warming, drain the marinade from both the chicken and vegetable bags.
Thread the chicken, vegetables, and pineapple onto skewers in an alternating pattern.
Lightly oil the grill grates. Place the kabobs on the grill and cook for 6 to 8 minutes on each side. Near the end of cooking, baste the kabobs with the reserved marinade.
Serve the kabobs warm and enjoy!
Notes
Keep chicken pieces evenly sized to ensure uniform cooking
Avoid over-marinating to prevent mushy texture
Use skewers soaked in water to avoid burning
Grill on medium heat for best flavor and juiciness
