Directions\r
\r
For the Pineapple BBQ Sauce, combine all of the ingredients in a saucepan, and bring them to a simmer. Remove the sauce from the heat, and set it aside until you are ready to grill.\r
\r
For the Pineapple-Pepper Skewers, soak the wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before skewering to keep them from burning. Preheat the grill to medium heat. Toss the peppers, onions, and pineapple in the oil, salt and pepper. Skewer them, and place them on the grill for 10-12 minutes per side.\r
\r
For the chicken skewers, cut the chicken thighs into chunks, similar in size, and toss them with the oil, salt, and pepper. Skewer them, and place them on the grill as well for 6-8 minutes per side.\r
\r
For the last few minutes of grill, begin brushing the bbq sauce onto the pineapple-pepper and chicken skewers, rotating, until they are coated in the sauce. Remove them from the heat, and serve over brown rice if desired.
