BBQ Chicken Thighs with Fresh Grilled Pineapple

We use chicken thighs and fresh pineapple grilled in large round slices with a tiny bit of brown sugar.  Once cooked cut them up and toss with bbqed chicken skewers and fresh cilantro and parsley.  Wonderful!!.
  • 18 boneless skinless chicken thighs
The marinade:
  • 2 Tbs. soy sauce
  • 1/2 Tbs. lime juice
  • 1/2 Tbs. xiaoxing wine (available at Chinese or general Asian grocery stores; substitute sake or sherry if you don’t have it)
  • About 1 tsp. grated fresh ginger and chopped garlic
  • Red chili pepper flakes, to taste
  • A pinch of sugar (about 1/4 tsp.)
  • A few drops of fish sauce (optional; available at Thai or general Asian grocery stores)
Cut the chicken strips lengthwise. Thread them onto skewers. The trick is to sort of fold the pieces accordion-style, and to skewer them through the folds.  Brush with marinade through cooking.  Serve with a quinoia salad full of red and green peppers and fresh herbs (Italian dressing is an easy shortcut).
