Sweet, smoky, and totally irresistible—this BBQ Pork & Pineapple Skewer recipe is summer on a stick.
Chunky pork is marinated in your favorite BBQ sauce. Juicy pineapple balances the heat with a burst of sweetness. Grill until charred, caramelized, and golden. You’ll absolutely love this BBQ pork and pineapple skewer recipe.
This combo of savory and sweet is always a crowd-pleaser. We served ours hot off the grill with warm pita, but they’d also be perfect over a bed of rice, stuffed into lettuce cups, or even tossed into a grain bowl. However you serve them, just be sure to keep extra napkins nearby—they’re saucy in the best way.
Even Indy, our dog, was into it. She had her nose in the air the whole time, sniffing around, totally locked in on the smell. Usually, she bolts under the stairs the second the grill fires up. But this time? She got brave and crept a little closer—definitely hopeful for a bite.
One guest even said these skewers taste just like his favorite pizza—on a stick. High praise.
How would you serve them? I’d love to hear your favorite combos—rice? Couscous? Wrapped in warm flatbread with crunchy slaw? Let me know what you’d pair them with and tag me if you give them a try!
BBQ Pork & Pineapple Skewer Recipe
Equipment
- 13 6 inch bamboo skewers
Ingredients
- 2 lb pork boneless ribs
- 3 tbsp bbq sauce Whatever you have on hand
- 1/8 tsp salt
- .91 lb pre-cut pineapple slices from your local supermarket or feel free to cut the pineapple yourself
Instructions
- Soak the Skewers: Soak wooden skewers in water for a few hours to prevent them from burning on the grill.
- Prep the Pork:Cut pork into chunky 1.5-inch pieces. You want hearty bites for this recipe.
- Marinate: Place the pork in a container and sprinkle with salt to help draw out some of the fat. Add BBQ sauce and mix until the pork is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours to marinate.
- Prep the Pineapple: If your pineapple chunks are large, cut them in half to match the size of the pork pieces. Then assemble the skewers, alternating between pork and pineapple.
- Grill: Start by grilling over high heat to sear and caramelize both sides. Then reduce the heat to low or move the skewers to a higher rack. Let them cook for 15–20 minutes, allowing the pork to tenderize and the fat to render.
- Serve & Enjoy: Enjoy hot off the grill. These skewers are sweet, smoky, and perfect with grilled veggies or fresh slaw.
