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).
