Ingredients

  • ½ cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons pineapple juice from a can of pineapple
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts cubed
  • ½ red onion cut into large chunks
  • 20 ounces canned pineapple chunks juice reserved
  • 2 teaspoons sesame seeds divided use

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, pineapple juice, honey, sesame oil, and garlic. Mix well.
  • Pour half of the sauce over the chicken, reserving the other half. Cover and allow the chicken to marinate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  • When the chicken is ready, assemble the kabobs by threading pieces of chicken, red onion, and pineapple onto the skewers. Repeat this process or create any other pattern you desire.
  • Place 3 or 4 kabobs (depending on the size of your air fryer) in the bottom of the air fryer, brush them with some of the remaining sauce, and sprinkle with half of the sesame seeds.
  • Air fry at 375°F for 7 to 8 minutes. Then flip the kabobs, brush the other side with the sauce, and top with the remaining sesame seeds. Air fry for another 7 to 8 minutes and serve immediately.

Notes

You can reserve a portion of the sauce for dipping. However, be sure it’s a new or completely reserved portion that has not touched the raw chicken.
Measure your wooden skewers to make sure they fit inside the air fryer before you assemble the kabobs.
The skewers will be hot while rotating, so be sure to wear protection.
The ingredients on the kabobs will shrink slightly while cooking.
You will have leftover pineapple chunks. You can always double up on how many chunks you add to the kabobs or create pineapple-only kabobs.
