  • Author: ushinzomr

Description

These grilled BBQ chicken skewers are perfect for your Memorial Day gathering. They’re easy to make, full of flavor, and sure to be a crowd-pleaser!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Skewers (wooden or metal)
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  2. In a bowl, combine the chicken cubes, BBQ sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat the chicken.
  3. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
  4. Thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece.
  5. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
  6. Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve hot.

Notes

  • Feel free to add vegetables like bell peppers, onions, or zucchini to the skewers for extra flavor and color.
  • You can use store-bought BBQ sauce or make your own for a personalized touch.
  • These skewers can be served with coleslaw, corn on the cob, or your favorite side dishes.
