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.

BBQ CHICKEN SKEWERS

Steps:

• If you are using wooden skewers, it is important to soak them first. You can soak them overnight or at least 30 minutes before making the kebabs.
• In a small bowl mix together BBQ seasonings.
• Season chicken with BBQ seasonings. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes.
• To a skewer, rotate adding in chicken, peppers, and onions, repeat until the skewers have been filled about 1/2 way (about 3-4 pieces of each).
• Preheat a grill to 400º Fahrenheit.
• Add skewers to the grill and cook for 10-15 minutes, brushing with olive oil several times during grilling. Turn the skewers occasionally and grill until temperature reaches 165ºF internally.
• Serve warm.

GRILLED CHICKEN SKEWERS

Steps:

• Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium heat.
• To make the peanut sauce, put the peanut butter in a blender with the soy sauce, honey, ginger, red pepper flakes, chili oil and lime juice. Add 1/4 cup very hot water as you blend the mixture. Check the consistency and add a little more hot water if needed to make it very smooth. Transfer the sauce to a small dish, cover it with plastic wrap and set aside.
• Brush the grill with oil. Thread the chicken onto the skewers and grill on both sides until the chicken is done in the middle, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove to a serving platter and sprinkle on the cilantro.
• Serve the skewers with dishes of the peanut sauce and a good-quality barbecue sauce for dipping.

STICKY BBQ CHICKEN SKEWERS

Steps:

• Place all the SAUCE ingrediants into a pan. Bring to a boil and stir every 20 or so seconds until the sugar has dissolved. Allow to partially cool other wise the chicken will start to cook.
• Cut chicken up into kebab-sized pieces and put into a bowl with the sauce. Leave for 30 minutes at least to marinade.
• Thread chicken onto wooden (or metal) skewers with pepper into between each piece.
• Line the base of a grill pan with foil, grill for 10 to 12 minutes turning every 4-5 minutes. Brush sauce on the skewers with a pastry brush every time you turn them, until the chicken is thoroughly cooked.
• If you are having the suggested side, boil rice until cooked through, (if you don't add too much water, the rice should soak up the water nicely) add the peas and stir until they are cooked. Drain rice.
• Serve the skewers with the rice and enjoy! Don't forget to let me know what you think!
