Can you use an air fryer to cook these? If so how long 12-15 minutes?
You can try! I don’t use air fryer.
We don’t hawaiian BBQ sauce in our area. Can we substitute with regular BBQ sauce?
Yes it is OK.
I would serve this like a plate lunch with authentic Hawai’ian mac salad and rice.
Sounds so good!
If I can’t find the original BBQ sauce can I substitute with the KH smoked bacon BBQ sauce? Will it make a difference of being or not being Hawaiian flavor?
Where can I buy the Hawaiian Barbecue Sauce? My supermarket does not carry it.
Yeppers. Hawai’ian. And I don’t eat SPAM cuz it’s another mystery meat like we got on Welfare when I has a child.
Where can you buy that type of skewers? I have only seen the straight bamboo kind.
You can get them at Sur La Table.
Also at party supply stores like Party City.
