Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, sriracha, olive oil, garlic, lime juice, and black pepper.
Add chicken cubes to the marinade and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
Thread chicken, pineapple, and bell pepper alternately onto skewers.
Grill skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until chicken is fully cooked and lightly charred.
Brush with remaining marinade during grilling, if desired.
Remove from grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Substitute chicken thighs for a juicier texture.
Use canned pineapple if fresh is unavailable, but drain well.
Adjust sriracha to your preferred spice level.
Serve with rice or grilled vegetables for a full meal.
