Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, freshly grated ginger, and minced garlic. Whisk together until the sugar dissolves.
  2. Chop the chicken thighs and pineapple into uniform, bite-sized chunks.
  3. Place the chicken in the marinade, mix well, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, ideally overnight.
  4. Thread the marinated chicken and pineapple chunks onto the skewers, alternating between them.
  5. Preheat your grill to medium heat, around 350°F (175°C), and lightly oil the grates.
  6. Grill the kabobs for about 10-15 minutes, turning frequently until the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
  7. In the last 2 minutes of grilling, brush the kabobs with the reserved marinade.
  8. Remove kabobs from the grill, let them rest, and serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs.
