  1. Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.

  3. Thread the marinated chicken and pineapple chunks onto the soaked skewers, alternating between the two.
  4. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 375°F/190°C).

  6. Remove from the grill and let them rest for a few moments before serving.
