Method

In a mixing bowl, whisk together ketchup, brown sugar, soy sauce, pineapple juice, two tablespoons of olive oil, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger and sesame oil. Stir in three-fourth teaspoon pepper and season with salt, if desired. Place chicken in a re-sealable bag. Reserve half cup of the marinade in refrigerator then pour remaining marinade over chicken. Seal and refrigerate for an hour (meanwhile soak 10 wooden skewer sticks in water for an hour). Preheat a grill over medium heat to 200ºC. Meanwhile, drizzle remaining two tablespoons of olive oil over red onion, bell pepper and pineapple and toss. Season red onion and bell pepper with salt and pepper, then thread red onion, bell pepper, pineapple and chicken onto skewers until all of the chicken has been used. Brush grill grates with olive oil then place skewers on. Grill for five minutes then brush along the top with remaining marinade. Rotate to opposite side and brush with marinade. Allow to grill for about four minutes longer and serve warm.
