How to Make Pineapple Marinade
- In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup pineapple juice, ½ cup packed brown sugar, 2 cloves minced garlic, and ¼ cup soy sauce.
- Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the brown sugar dissolves completely and the mixture is slightly thickened. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove from heat before the mixture boils. Set aside to cool completely.
- Place 1.5 lbs of chicken or pork (cut into 1-inch cubes) in a medium bowl.
- Pour the cooled pineapple marinade over the meat, ensuring it's fully coated.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or preferably overnight for best results.
- Preheat your grill to medium heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
- Thread the marinated meat onto wooden skewers (soaked in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning).
- Grill the kebabs for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) for chicken and 145°F (63°C) for pork. Use a meat thermometer to ensure doneness.
- Watch closely as they cook quickly! Serve immediately and enjoy the burst of tropical flavor.
