Pineapple Coconut Hawaiian Chicken Skewers
This recipe is based on the marinade of the Hawaiian street food chicken you can get from roadside stalls throughout Hawaii, except I added coconut. Coconut is a brilliant base for marinades because it adds richness into the flesh as well as infusing it with sweetness and coconut flavours. I served

Instructions
- Combine Marinade ingredients in a bowl. Remove 1/2 cup of Marinade (for basting) and set aside in fridge. Add chicken, cover and marinate in the fridge for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight. But even 20 minutes is enough - compensate with extra basting.
- Drain and discard marinade. Thread chicken onto skewers.
- Heat oil in a large skillet or on outdoor BBQ over medium high heat. Cook skewers, turning to cook all sides, and basting generously with reserved Marinade. (Note 1)
- Serve with Coconut Lime Rice.
