GRILLED BBQ CHICKEN KABOBS

Steps:

• If using metal skewers, no prep is needed. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes so they don't burn too much.
• Combine spice rub ingredients in a small bowl and toss to combine.
• Add chicken pieces, bacon and oil in a mixing bowl and toss with about 2/3 of the rub. I like to use my hands to really massage the rub into the meat.
• To another mixing bowl, add green pepper, onion, and pineapple. Toss with remaining rub.
• Wrap bacon pieces around the chicken, in a "C" shape, with the chicken inside. Thread bacon wrapped chicken, peppers, onion, and pineapple onto kabob skewers, alternating as desired.

THE BEST BBQ CHICKEN SKEWERS RECIPE

Steps:

• Trim chicken of excess fat, then cut the chicken into 1-inch cubes. In a large bowl, toss the chicken with the salt. Then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour.
• Turn all grill burners to high, close lid, and heat for about 15 minutes. Leave primary burner on, but turn off other burners.
• Meanwhile, pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, combine both paprika and sugar. Place the raw bacon in a food processor or blender and pulse for about 30-45 seconds, until a smooth paste forms, scraping down the sides of the bowl twice throughout. Add the bacon paste and spice mixture to the chicken. Mix with hands or spatula until the ingredients are blended and chicken is coated. Thread the chicken onto the skewers, rolling or folding as needed to maintain 1-inch cubes.
• Grill the chicken over the primary burner with lid closed, turning one-quarter of a turn every 2 minutes or so, until browned and slightly charred (about 8 minutes total for chicken breast and 10 minutes for thighs). Brush the top of skewers with BBQ sauce; flip and cook until sauce is browned in spots, about 1 minute. Brush second side with sauce; flip and cook for another minute or so, until cooked through.
• Remove skewers from grill, tent with foil, and let rest for 5 minutes. Serve, passing remaining BBQ sauce separately, if desired.
