1. How can I make Hawaiian Chicken Kabobs spicier?

To add a little heat to your Hawaiian Chicken Kabobs, simply include some sliced jalapeños or red chili flakes on the skewers. You can also mix a bit of sriracha into the Hawaiian marinade for an extra kick.

2. Can I use chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts for kabobs?

Yes, chicken thighs can be substituted for chicken breasts. They have more fat, which will make the kabobs even juicier and more flavorful. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time as needed since thighs may take slightly longer to cook than breasts.

3. Can I prepare the kabobs ahead of time?

Absolutely! You can prepare the kabobs by threading the chicken, pineapple, and vegetables onto skewers and storing them in the fridge for up to 24 hours before cooking. This makes for a quick and easy meal when you're ready to cook.

4. Can I make these kabobs on the grill?

Yes, you can definitely make these Hawaiian Chicken Kabobs on the grill! Simply preheat your grill to medium-high heat and cook the kabobs for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
