Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1½-inch cubes
  • 1 cup barbecue sauce (plus extra for basting)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
  • 1 large red bell pepper, cut into chunks
  • 1 large green bell pepper, cut into chunks
  • 1 large red onion, quartered

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Equipment: Heat the grill to medium-high (about 400°F) or preheat the oven to the same temperature. Lightly oil the grill grates or baking tray.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix barbecue sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, salt, pepper, lemon juice, and honey. Add chicken cubes and toss to coat. Marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  3. Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers, alternating with red and green peppers and onion chunks.
  4. Assemble the Dish: Arrange the skewers on the grill or baking tray, leaving space between them for even cooking.
  5. Cook to Perfection: Grill for 12–15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is golden and cooked through.
  6. Finishing Touches: Brush with extra barbecue sauce during the last 2–3 minutes to caramelize the glaze.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Let rest for a few minutes, then serve hot with coleslaw, corn on the cob, or warm flatbread.

Notes

  • Marinate the chicken overnight for deeper flavor.
  • Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
  • Brush barbecue sauce near the end of cooking to avoid burning the sugar.
  • Use chicken thighs for extra juiciness.
  • Leftovers taste great in wraps, salads, or sandwiches.
