First, kudos, praise, and sincere thanks for The McGraths gracious
hosting of today's Boston Area Hotluck at their lovely home. The
Blessings of El Grande be upon you, your children, and your  children's
children.  (caution- may be habit-forming):  For marinade step 1:
Combine in a saucepan. Stir and simmer 5 minutes.  Cool.  For solid
stuff: Cut chicken into small pieces (1/2 to 3/4 inch cubes)  Assemble
Solid Stuff onto toothpicks (1 pineapple chunk, 1 water  chestnut
slice, 2 pieces of chicken [1 on each end]). Place in layers  in a deep
dish. Pour cooled marinade over and let sit 1 hour at room  temp.
THEN: Grill until almost done. A few minutes before removing from
grill, brush each liberally with a fruit-based hab sauce (I use Inner
Beauty Real Hot Sauce). Continue grilling a couple of minutes to  "set"
sauce.  MARINADE- STEP 2: While grilling chicken, simmer remaining
marinade  above to reduce somewhat and thicken. Add any remaining
pineapple and  water chestnuts to the sauce. Add several tablespoons of
the same hot  sauce to the marinade, then add powdered habs to achieve
desired heat  level to your taste. Serve skewers and use the reduced
marinade as a  dipping sauce.  VARIATION 1- Toothpick size skewers are
good for parties or as an  appetizer; use bamboo yakitori skewers for
dinner size portions,  alternating various colors of bell or hot
peppers with the solid stuff  above.  VARIATION 2- For non-CH
consumption, omit the hot sauce and hab  powder. This recipe began as a
tasty (but infidel) version with just  the Marinade-Step 1.  VARIATION
3- Other fruits, in addition to the pineapple, would  probably be good
but I haven't tried that.  Again, to Mr. and Mrs. Jim McGrath, their
dog, and all fellow CH'ers  who made this great event happen- may El
Grande shower you with  (his?) (her?) flavorful benediction and shelter
you from the Ring of  Fire which cometh. Posted to CHILE-HEADS DIGEST
