# Ingredients:

01 - 1.1 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs, cut into 1-inch cubes
02 - 1/2 cup BBQ sauce, plus extra for brushing
03 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
04 - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
05 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
06 - 1/2 teaspoon salt

09 - 1 medium pineapple, peeled, cored, and cut into 1-inch chunks
→ Skewers
10 - 8 wooden or metal skewers, soaked for 30 minutes if using wooden
# Directions:
01 - In a large bowl, combine chicken cubes, olive oil, BBQ sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss thoroughly to coat all chicken pieces. Marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for enhanced flavor.
02 - Preheat grill to medium-high heat, maintaining a temperature of approximately 400°F.
03 - Thread chicken, pineapple, and red onion pieces alternately onto skewers, beginning and ending with chicken pieces to ensure structural stability.
04 - Place skewers on the grill and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, rotating every 3 to 4 minutes and brushing with additional BBQ sauce. Continue until chicken reaches full internal doneness and develops light charring.
05 - Remove skewers from grill and allow to rest for 2 minutes. Serve warm with additional BBQ sauce on the side if desired.
