Cooking Tips
● Soak wooden skewers in water for 15–30 minutes to prevent burning.
● Add bell peppers or red onion for extra color and crunch. Storage & Reheating
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
Reheating: Reheat in a skillet over medium heat or in the microwave.
Freezing: Not recommended once cooked; raw marinated chicken and pineapple can be frozen (without sauce). I'm not a registered dietitian, but I strive to provide the most accurate nutritional values. Any nutritional data I provide is an approximation. Actual dietary information can vary based on ingredients and portion sizes.
