Fresh really matters—canned pineapple tends to break apart and misses that caramelizing magic on the grill. Bell pepper slices add a pop of color and a gentle sweetness that pairs nicely with the fruit. I love the savory, mellow flavor that grilled onion wedges lend to the mix; just cut them thick enough so they hold on the skewer. Gives depth to the marinade; for gluten-free, tamari works just as well and won’t alter the flavor. Helps the marinade stick and keeps the chicken from drying out over high heat. Brightens the marinade and cuts through the richness; freshly squeezed is best. Adds warmth and a tropical twist; powdered ginger works in a pinch but go slow so it doesn’t overpower. A little grind gives just enough heat and balances the sweetness of the honey. For garnish, it brings a bright herbal note; chop just before serving so it stays crisp. A squeeze right at the table wakes up all the grilled flavors and makes it even more refreshing.
