Tropical Coleslaw & Grilled Hawaiian Chicken Kabobs Recipe

Skewers of Tropical Coleslaw & Grilled Hawaiian Chicken Kabobs

The other day my neighbor made mention of how cute it was that my husband and I are typically both standing in front of our grill during the week making our dinner together. My husband replied that he needed to be there so that he could oversee if I was using the grill properly. He was joking, of course, but I made sure to interject that just because I was a woman did not mean that I was not a master of our grill. And then huge flames erupted from our grill as I lifted my arms and declared myself the Ultimate Grill Master.

Okay, the second part of that didn’t really happen. But the image of me at my grill with giant metal spatula flipping burgers should certainly empower you to become your own grill master!

I was super excited last week when a cute little Weber® Q® 1200 ™ showed up at my doorstep and could not stop my mind from running through all of the things that I wanted to use it for! My first thought was chicken kabobs with a sweet marinade so I settled on chicken kabobs inspired by tropical Hawaiian weather. The combination of sweet pineapple and zesty red onion sounded like the perfect way to bring out the sunshine on my grill.

I love that the Weber® Q® 1200 ™ is the perfect grill for camping and tailgating but also is an excellent size for grilling for your family and friends at home. You can easily make my Hawaiian Chicken Kabobs for dinner tonight and show your family that you are the ultimate grill master. Serve these kabobs alongside of my delicious Tropical Coleslaw for the perfect pairing.
