Preparation
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, olive oil, honey, lime juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper until smooth.
  2. Cut chicken thighs into 1-inch cubes and add to the marinade, stirring to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. If using wooden skewers, soak in water for 30 minutes. Gather vegetables and pineapple for kabob assembly.
  4. Preheat grill to medium-high (400-425°F) and clean grates with a grill brush, oiling to prevent sticking.
  5. Thread marinated chicken, pineapple, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and red onion onto skewers.
  6. Grill kabobs for 10-14 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F.
  7. Remove kabobs from grill and let rest for 3-5 minutes before serving.
