  • Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Alternately thread three chicken cubes and three pineapple chunks on each skewer.
  • Grill skewers 3 to 5 minutes on each side. Brush or spoon sauce from one bowl onto chicken and pineapple every other minute. Discard remaining sauce from first bowl.
