Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Soak your plain toothpicks in water for about 20 minutes to prevent them from burning during baking.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) for even cooking.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for a non-stick surface.
For each bite, place a chunk of pineapple atop a slice of kielbasa on the baking sheet.
In a small bowl, combine teriyaki sauce, sweet chili sauce, honey, and reserved pineapple juice; whisk until blended.
Coat each assembled bite with the glaze, avoiding the tops of the toothpicks.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, watching for golden caramelization on the glaze.
Once baked, let them cool for a few minutes before serving warm.
