Ingredients
-
2 lbs chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
-
1 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand)
-
½ cup beer (lager or pale ale works best)
-
2 tbsp olive oil
-
2 tbsp brown sugar
-
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
-
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 tsp smoked paprika
-
Salt and pepper to taste
-
Wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
-
Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together BBQ sauce, beer, olive oil, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
-
Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken cubes in a large resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure it’s evenly coated. Seal and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best flavor.
-
Prepare the Skewers: Thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers, ensuring the pieces are evenly spaced.
-
Grill the Skewers: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the chicken skewers for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has grill marks.
-
Serve: Serve the skewers with extra BBQ sauce for dipping and your favorite sides.
Notes
-
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
-
These skewers pair great with grilled vegetables or a refreshing salad.
-
For added flavor, marinate the chicken overnight.
