Instructions

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
In a medium bowl, whisk together barbecue sauce, pineapple juice, soy sauce, garlic powder, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Reserve 1/2 cup of the marinade for basting. Add chicken cubes to the remaining marinade and let sit for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours) in the refrigerator.
Preheat grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F / 200°C).
Thread marinated chicken, pineapple, peppers, and red onion onto skewers, alternating pieces for color and flavor variety.
Grill skewers for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally and basting with the reserved marinade during the last few minutes, until chicken is fully cooked and has nice grill marks.
Serve warm with extra barbecue sauce on the side if desired.

Notes

If using wooden skewers, soaking them prevents burning on the grill.
Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes to maximize flavor.
For quicker prep, use pre-cut pineapple chunks.
Adjust barbecue sauce sweetness based on preference by adding a bit of honey or more soy sauce.
