Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 2 tablespoons tamari/soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon chopped pickled ginger
  • 1-3 chipotle chiles in adobo
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons sweet or smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
  • kosher salt and black pepper
  • 1 1/2 pounds chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-size chunks
  • 3 cups fresh pineapple chunks
  • green onions and basil, for serving

Bang Bang sauce:

  • 1/2 cup mayo
  • 1/3 cup sweet Thai chili sauce
  • 2 tablespoons tamari/soy sauce
  • 1 small clove garlic grated
  • 2 teaspoons lime zest
  • 1 tablespoon chopped pickled ginger

Instructions

  1. In a blender, blend the olive oil, tomato paste, tamari/soy sauce, honey, ginger, chipotle, paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper until the chilies are chopped.
  2. Mix the chicken and chipotle sauce in a bowl. Take the skewers and thread the chicken with the pineapple chunks.
  3. Set your grill, grill pan, or skillet to medium-high heat. Grill the skewers until lightly charred and cooked through, turning them occasionally throughout cooking, about 10 to 12 minutes total.
  4. To make the sauce: combine all ingredients in a bowl.
  5. Serve the chicken and pineapple with limes, green onions, and bang bang sauce for dipping. Add extra chili sauce mixed with a couple tablespoons of ketchup for a little double-dip action. Enjoy!
