How To Grill Teriyaki Sausage And Chicken Kabobs
Place the chicken pieces in a bowl and cover them with the marinade for at least an hour up to 24 hours.
Alternate adding protein, veggies and pineapple to each skewer.
Place chicken skewers on the grill over medium-high heat. Once the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit, they are done and ready to enjoy.

Storage And Reheating
Fridge: Store leftover chicken kebabs in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Storage is easier if you remove veggies, meat and pineapple from the skewers.
Freezer: We do not recommend storing the veggies and pineapple from this dish as they will not have a great texture when you reheat them. If you want to freeze the meat on it’s own, store in an airtight container or freezer bag.
To reheat Teriyaki chicken kebabs, heat in the microwave until hot throughout. Reheat without the skewers themselves.
Pro Tips
- Be sure to cut chicken into equal sized pieces so they cook evenly.
- If you are using bamboo or wooden skewers, soak them in water for an hour or so before adding the food to them so they don’t burn on the grill.
- Leave an inch at both ends of your skewers so you can hold onto them.
- You’ll want to rotate the skewers on the grill to make certain every side is cooked through.

These Teriyaki kabobs look like summer on a plate! You will love all the juicy chicken and sausage with the charred pineapple and peppers plus the Teriyaki marinade just takes them over the top. Add this recipe to your meal plan this week and enjoy!
