Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Prepare Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine your teriyaki sauce with the chicken thighs, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Assemble the Kabobs: Once marinated, alternate threading chicken, pineapple chunks, bell peppers, and onion onto the skewers, leaving gaps for even grilling.
  3. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 400°F (200°C), and lightly oil the grill grates.
  4. Grill the Kabobs: Grill for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C) and vegetables are tender.
  5. Garnish & Serve: Remove from grill, sprinkle sesame seeds, and garnish with sliced green onions. Serve hot.
