*Serves 6 people
Ingredients:
2 pounds chicken breasts (4-6) breasts chopped into bite sized pieces
1 tablespoon olive oil
Chicken Rub Ingredients:
2 teaspoons brown sugar
1.5 teaspoons smoked paprika
1.5 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon pepper
BBQ Sauce Ingredients:
1/2 cup ketchup
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
3 tablespoons molasses
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 teaspoon dijon mustard
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon reserved spices (in directions)
Instructions:
If using wooden skewers, soak for at least 30 minutes in water before grilling or broiling.
Mix all of the Chicken Rub ingredients together in a small bowl. Remove 1 teaspoon spices to a small saucepan for the BBQ sauce.
Add chicken to a large bowl and drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, toss evenly to coat. Add chicken rub and toss evenly to coat. Thread chicken onto skewers. Set aside.
To the small saucepan with the 1 teaspoon spices, add all of the BBQ sauce ingredients and heat over medium heat until butter is melted and sauce is heated throughout.
To grill: Generously grease grill and heat to medium-high heat. Grill chicken for 8-10 minutes, rotating every couple minutes until nicely browned and slightly charred on each side and chicken is cooked throughout.
Brush tops of chicken with BBQ sauce, flip and cook for about 1 minute then brush top side of chicken, flip then cook for another minute. Serve with remaining BBQ sauce.
To oven broil: Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray. Add to skewers in a single layer and broil, turning every 5 minutes until cooked through, about 10-15 minutes depending on thickness of chicken. Brush cooked chicken with BBQ sauce and broil 1-2 minutes to caramelize. Serve with remaining BBQ sauce.
