Ingredients

  • 4 - Boneless, Skinless Chicken Thighs
  • 8 - Skewer Sticks or Skewer Set for Ninja Foodi
  • 1 Cup - Pineapple Chunks & Juice
  • 1 - Green Pepper
  • 1 - Onion
  • 1 Tbsp - Olive Oil
  • 1 Clove - Garlic
  • 1 ¾ Cups - Water
  • ¾ Cups - Sugar
  • ½ Cups - Distilled Vinegar
  • 2 Tbsps - Gluten-Free Soy Sauce
  • 1 Tbsp - Ketchup
  • ¼ Cups - Cornstarch
  • ½ Tsps - Sesame Seeds

Instructions

  1. This will be made using the skewer stand for the Ninja Foodi, see the post or notes for the one used.
  2. Use 4 chicken thighs and cut them in half to fit on the skewer sticks, set aside. Remember to use the metal sticks that come with the stand. If you prefer you can also salt and pepper and the chicken.
  3. Add the pepper, onion, and pineapple to each stick then carefully place the chicken on the sticks, then additional pepper, onion, and pineapple. Repeat for each skewer.
  4. Warm up the olive oil in a medium sized sauce pan on medium-high heat, add in the garlic clove, 1 1/2 Cups water, sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, and the reserved pineapple juice.
  5. Whisk the cornstarch into a small dish with 1/4 cup water to dissolve it.
  6. Once the sauce is boiling whisk in the ketchup and cornstarch mixture. Whisk well until thickened. Whisk in the sesame seeds.
  7. Pour 1/4 cup of the sauce into a small bowl and reserve the rest.
  8. Note: I like to coat the chicken with a squirt of grapeseed oil spray after coating, this gives it a crispy texture on the outside.
  9. Using the 1/4 cup sauce, brush the sauce over the chicken.
  10. Place the stand into the pot of the Ninja Foodi.
  11. Using the Air Crisp Function, cook this at 390*F for 15 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches at least 165*F.
  12. Carefully remove and serve over rice and vegetables.
