Notes

1. I like to use the juice from canned pineapple pieces then I grill the pineapple pieces to serve almost like a salsa on top of the chicken.

2. I baste on the cooked sides then turn to caramelise the Marinade for a few seconds (it does not take long). It takes around 6 - 8 minutes to cook - depends how thick the chicken pieces are.

3.Nutrition per serving, assuming 2 skewers per serving. This nutrition takes into account the amount of marinade that is discarded.
