Steps

• 1

  To make the Hawaiian sauce: Combine all the sauce ingredients in a medium saucepan and stir until the cornstarch is dissolved. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 2 minutes. Set-aside until ready to use.

  Thread the skewers. You'll need two strips of bacon per skewer if using 4 pieces of chicken and 3 pieces each of pineapple, bell pepper and onion. Weave the bacon around each piece of chicken and pineapple, stick the bell pepper and onion together and weave th bacon around both of those. Brush some olive or vegetable oil evenly over each kabob.
