Bengal Barbeque Chicken Skewers

Mom fell in love with these at Disneyland’s famous Bengal Barbeque and went home and developed her own recipe that actually tastes better!

6-8 de-boned chicken breasts cut in chunks
Marinate chicken in lime, lemon, pineapple (use some of juice from crushed pineapple) and orange juice with 3-4 garlic cloves grated, a few sprinkles of soy sauce and some lemon-lime soda and garlic salt and pepper. Soak in marinade for about 4-6 hrs. Thread 3-4 chicken chunks onto wooden skewers and cook on grill basting with Polynesian sauce.

Polynesian sauce:
1 med. Can crushed pineapple with juice (use some in marinate)
1/2 c. garlic flavored rice vinegar
1/8 cup white distilled vinegar
1/2 c. ketchup
lime juice (1 whole)
lemon juice (1/2 lemon)
orange juice (1 whole)
1/2 c. brown sugar
2 TBSP honey or more if needed
1/4 c Karo syrup (optional)
1- 2 cups water
1/2 red pepper chopped fine
1/2 green pepper (grated the fleshy part into mixture, don’t chop)
1/2 onion chopped fine
Garlic salt and salt to taste
A couple pinches of cayenne pepper

Saute onion and garlic in butter until golden and then add all other ingredients and simmer for and hour. Add enough cornstarch (mixed with cold water) until sauce is slightly thickened. Use approx. 2 T. cornstarch.
