Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large Ziploc bag, mix together BBQ sauce, teriyaki sauce, pineapple juice, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Seal and shake gently until combined.
  2. Add chicken chunks into the marinade, seal tightly, and massage the bag to ensure all chicken is coated. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  3. Soak wooden skewers in water for 20 minutes if using, then thread marinated chicken, pineapple, bell peppers, and onion onto skewers.
  4. Preheat grill to medium-high (375°F to 400°F) and oil the grates.
  5. Place kabobs on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until fully cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  6. Remove from grill and brush with extra teriyaki sauce if desired. Serve hot.
