Description

These BBQ chicken skewers are perfect for your Memorial Day celebration! They’re easy to make, packed with flavor, and great for grilling.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1/4 cup BBQ sauce
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Skewers (wooden or metal)
  • Vegetables for skewering (bell peppers, onions, zucchini)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix the BBQ sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Add the cubed chicken to the marinade and let it sit for at least 30 minutes.
  3. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
  4. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  5. Thread the marinated chicken and vegetables onto the skewers alternately.
  6. Grill the skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
  7. Serve hot with additional BBQ sauce on the side.

Notes

  • Feel free to customize the vegetables based on your preference.
  • For extra flavor, marinate the chicken overnight.
