Onto each of eight 12-inch (30 cm) soaked wooden or metal skewers, alternately thread chicken, red and green peppers, onion and pineapple. (Make-ahead: Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.)
Place skewers on greased grill over medium-high heat; close lid and grill, turning often, for 14 minutes.
Brush with half of the sauce; grill, turning once, for 1 minute.
