Ingredients
1.5 lbs chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 cup thick BBQ sauce
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Slice the chicken breast into even 1-inch cubes to ensure uniform cooking.
Whisk the olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and half the paprika in a large mixing bowl.
Toss the chicken cubes in the oil mixture until thoroughly coated.
Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Thread the seasoned chicken onto the skewers, leaving small gaps for heat circulation.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Place skewers on the grill and cook for about 12 minutes, turning occasionally.
Brush with BBQ sauce during the final few minutes of cooking to create a sticky glaze.
Notes
Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. If using metal skewers, no soaking is required.
