Sticky chicken and pineapple skewers with uneven caramelised edges — **TooGut pick**Flexible, practical, genuinely delicious.

The glaze goes on late so the honey turns lacquered rather than burnt. Fresh pineapple should be hand-cut into mixed shapes: the thin corners caramelise first while thicker pieces stay juicy.

One step at a time

Let’s cook.

Tick each step as you go. Built-in timers keep the important moments close.

Start the glaze

Simmer honey, chilli, tamari and half the lime juice for 2 minutes. Take off the heat and reserve half in a clean bowl.

Season the chicken

Toss chicken with oil, paprika, lime zest and 1 teaspoon salt. Thread with pineapple onto eight skewers, varying the direction of each piece.

Build the char first

Barbecue over medium-high heat for 7 minutes, turning as the chicken colours. Do not add the glaze yet.

Glaze in layers

Brush with the saucepan glaze and cook for another 4 to 5 minutes, turning and brushing twice, until sticky and cooked through.

Finish away from the heat

Rest for 3 minutes. Spoon over the clean reserved glaze and remaining lime juice.
