Marinating Time: 2–24 hours
Cook: 15 minutes
Serves: 2
- Cut chicken thighs into ½-inch chunks or strips, season with salt and toss with VH Pineapple Jerk Sauce. Place in a container, cover and marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours. For best results marinate for 24 hours.
- Divide the chicken evenly between 4 skewers, ensuring that the pieces are snugly positioned and leaving room for a handle.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high. Grill skewers until grill marks appear, turn once and grill on the second side long enough for grill marks to develop.
- Move the skewers to the top rack of the grill or reduce heat setting to low and continue until cooked through and temperature registers 165°F internally.
- Slice the pineapple and grill on both sides, allowing some charred marks to develop on both sides. Let cool, then dice finely.
- Mix all salsa ingredients in a bowl and serve with warm skewers.
