Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 cup Barbecue sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 8 pieces Wooden skewers
Instructions
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning during cooking.
Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the barbecue sauce, honey, soy sauce, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and olive oil to create the marinade.
Add the chicken cubes to the bowl with the marinade. Toss until all pieces are evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours for more flavor.
Preheat your grill or broiler to medium-high heat. Oil the grill grates or broiling pan to prevent sticking.
Thread the marinated chicken onto the soaked wooden skewers, making sure to leave a little space between each piece for even cooking.
Place the skewers on the grill or under the broiler. Cook for about 6-8 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Optional: During the last few minutes of cooking, brush the skewers with additional barbecue sauce for extra glaze and flavor.
Remove the skewers from the heat and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm with your favorite sides, such as coleslaw, grilled vegetables, or cornbread.
