    We loved this! used boneless chicken thighs and cooked on a charcoal grill. I didn't worry about putting the foil down, just cooked on the skewers. I also grilled fresh pineapple with this, and the chicken and pineapple were wonderful together. Thanks for sharing! Made for your win in Football tag, week 13.
