These kebabs were inspired by the Caribbean flavour combination of chicken, fresh pineapple, chile pepper, and lime. Grilling the pineapple gives it smoky depth and enhances its sweetness which is a nice contrast to the spicy marinade. If you like heat, marinate the chicken overnight and, if you don't, 20 minutes will do the trick. Use metal skewers instead of the wooden variety if you have them on hand. For a side dish, slice a red onion into rings and place on the grill with the kebabs. Cook 3 to 4 minutes per side or until charred; chop and toss with cooked rice.
