Steps:

- Preheat grill for cooking over indirect heat or an oven to 450 degrees F.
- Whisk together the honey, mustard, hot sauce and liquid smoke in a medium bowl. Set aside.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Clean each chicken breast and cut into 4 pieces.
- Wrap each piece of chicken with 1 strip of bacon (you can use a toothpick but it is not necessary if you tuck the bacon into itself).
- Place each wrapped chicken piece into your pan (I generally spray mine with a cooking spray so it is easier to clean after).
- Sprinkle the tops of each piece with the brown sugar.
- Top each piece with a pineapple chunk or 2 and pour the juice and remaining pineapple into the pan for the chicken to cook inches.
- Place in oven and cook for 30-45 minutes depending on the thickness of your chicken pieces.
- Serve with rice or pasta & enjoy!
Tips:
- For a crispy bacon wrapping, cook the bacon until it is almost done, but not quite crispy. This will help it stay intact when wrapping the chicken.
- If you are using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before using. This will help prevent them from burning.
- If you don't have a grill, you can cook the chicken skewers in a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
- Serve the chicken skewers with your favorite dipping sauce, such as teriyaki sauce, sweet and sour sauce, or ranch dressing.
Conclusion:
Bacon-wrapped pineapple chicken skewers are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or a casual weeknight meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that is sure to please everyone at the table.
