Learn how to make delicious BBQ Chicken Skewers. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

Ingredients

Scale

Gathering the freshest ingredients is key to achieving that homemade touch my grandma always emphasized. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1/2 cup barbecue sauce (choose your favorite or make it from scratch!)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Wooden skewers, soaked in water for at least 30 minutes

If you’re missing an ingredient or two, don’t worry! You can substitute honey with maple syrup for a different kind of sweetness, or swap smoked paprika with regular paprika if you prefer a milder flavor. The key is to adapt and make this recipe your own—just like grandma taught me.

Instructions

Creating these skewers is a joyful process that brings back the simplicity of cooking with love. Follow these steps to make your own:

  1. In a large bowl, combine barbecue sauce, olive oil, soy sauce, honey, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.
  2. Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for deeper flavor.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If you’re using charcoal, wait until the coals are ashed over.
  4. Thread the marinated chicken onto the soaked wooden skewers, leaving space between pieces for even cooking.
  5. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char.
  6. Brush additional barbecue sauce over the skewers during the last few minutes of grilling for a sticky glaze.
  7. Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

Remember, cooking times can vary based on your grill and the size of your chicken pieces. Keep an eye on them to avoid overcooking. As my grandma would say, “Patience is key to drawing out the flavors.”
