- To each skewer, thread cubed chicken, pineapple, peppers and onions, rotating ingredients after ever piece. This step can be done in advance if bringing to a tailgate party.
- Prepare your charcoal grill for direct grilling over medium heat (350–450°F) and allow it to preheat for 10–15 minutes. Brush the grates with oil or cooking spray.
- Once hot, grill kebabs over direct medium heat turning once. Keep the lid closed as much as possible. Using an instant read thermometer, grill until the internal temperature reaches 165°F, about 10–12 minutes. Remove from grill and baste with your favorite BBQ sauce.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges and dig in!
