Grilled Pineapple Chicken Skewers with Polynesian Sauce

1 cup Pineapple juice

½ cup Water

3 tbsp Ketchup

3 tbsp Apple cider vinegar

2 tbsp Cornstarch

2 tbsp Soy sauce

2 tbsp Brown sugar

2 lb. Boneless skinless chicken thighs

1 Onion

1 Yellow bell pepper

1 Orange bell pepper

Fresh pineapple chunks

Wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes

 

In a small saucepan, whisk together pineapple juice, water, ketchup, apple cider vinegar, cornstarch, soy sauce, and brown sugar until smooth and well combined. Heat over medium heat, stirring often, until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and set aside to cool. While the sauce is cooling, prepare ingredients for the skewers. Cut chicken thighs into 2-3 in. cubes. Chop the onion and bell pepper into thick pieces that will easily slide onto the skewers without breaking. Assemble skewers by threading pieces of onion, peppers, chicken, and pineapple onto your skewers. Place skewers on grill over medium heat. Cook until the chicken is done in the center. Baste the skewers with the prepared Polynesian sauce on both sides as you turn them to cook all sides evenly.
