- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- In a bowl, combine the chicken cubes, BBQ sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat the chicken.
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
- Thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece.
- 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.
- Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
- 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.
