Ingredients
Scale
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand)
1/4 cup beer (non-alcoholic option can be substituted)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
Skewers (bamboo or metal, soak bamboo skewers in water for about 30 minutes to prevent burning)
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine honey, BBQ sauce, beer, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Whisk until well blended.
Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover the bowl and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor).
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
Remove the skewers from the grill, allow them to rest for a few minutes, then serve hot with your favorite sides!
Notes
For a spicier kick, add some cayenne pepper to the marinade.
These skewers can be served with a variety of sides such as coleslaw, corn on the cob, or a fresh salad.
Leftover skewers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
