Bacon-Wrapped Teriyaki Chicken Skewers

Ingredients:

1 lb boneless/skinless chicken

1 package bacon

1 large can pineapple chunks

Teriyaki sauce/glaze

Kebab skewers or toothpicks

The easiest way to put these together is to set up a little Kebab making station. On one plate cut the bacon into thirds. On another plate, put the chicken cubed up into bit-sized pieces. Finally, drain the pineapple and put it into a bowl. Wrap one third slice of bacon around a chunk of chicken and secure the bacon with a skewer. Next, add a slice of pineapple. If you are using toothpicks, you are done. If you have kebab skewers, repeat until the skewer is full of bacon wrapped chicken and pineapple goodness. Lay each skewer on a rimmed cookie sheet or baking dish. After all the chicken chunks have been wrapped like little babies in bacon and skewered, brush with teriyaki sauce.

Place the pan in the refrigerator for 2 to 4 hours.

Grill each skewer on low heat for about 10 minutes on each side. (Check them after 7 minutes, just to make sure they aren’t burning.) and repeat. Go ahead and get them extra goopy with sauce.

Baste with extra teriyaki sauce each time you turn them, plus one final baste right before you take them off the grill. (I actually turned them over for about 2 minutes just to cook on that final baste.)
