Equipment
- Skewers
- Grill
Ingredients
Sauce
- 1/4 cup barbecue sauce
- 1 1/2 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp rice wine vinegar
- 1/2 tsp chili powder
Skewer Ingredients
- 1 package hot dogs 8-count, quartered
- 3 cups pineapple cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 red bell pepper cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 green bell pepper cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 small red onion cut into 1-inch pieces
Instructions
- Whisk the Sauce: In a medium bowl, easily combine all the sauce ingredients until well mixed. Get your grill or grill pan ready by preheating it to a medium heat setting.
- Assemble Skewers: Thread the hot dog pieces, juicy pineapple chunks, colorful bell peppers, and crisp red onion pieces onto your skewers in an alternating, appealing pattern. Brush each skewer generously with your homemade sweet and tangy sauce.
- Grill to Perfection: Carefully place the brushed skewers on the preheated grill. Cook on medium heat, making sure to flip them every couple of minutes and baste with any remaining sauce. Grill until they're nicely charred and caramelized, which should take about 8 to 10 minutes in total. Enjoy your perfectly grilled, vibrant skewers!
