How to Make Grilled BBQ Chicken Kabobs

This recipe is a family favorite at my house. I will admit it isn’t the quickest recipe I make, but it is sooooo worth it.

I start by slicing the chicken, zucchini, squash, bacon, and pineapple into 1/2 inch to 1 inch pieces. I buy the pineapple chunks from Walmart so that I don’t have to slice those much.

Then I start threading the ingredients onto the kabob skewers . I usually use the bamboo skewers so that we can just toss them as we eat the kabobs.

I grill my kabobs on top of foil so as I am putting them together I arrange them onto the foil so that I can just carry it out to the grill.

Once I have all of the skewers made I squirt BBQ sauce (we use Sweet Baby Ray’s) into a bowl and use a basting brush to brush BBQ sauce on each side of them.

After that, I just transfer the foil onto the grill at medium- high heat and cook for about 10 minutes. I always rotate my skewers several times while they are cooking and about halfway through I re-baste the skewers with more BBQ sauce!

You HAVE to do the BBQ basting halfway through – okay you don’t have to, but it creates a caramelized char (clearly a professional term) that is to die for.

I’ve never had the chicken turn out dry cooking them like this. I am no expert at all, but I think by cooking them on foil instead of a direct flame it prevents the chicken from drying out.
