BBQ Bacon Chicken Skewers
BBQ Bacon Chicken Skewers are the ultimate combination of smoky, savory, and slightly sweet flavors. Juicy chunks of chicken are coated in a bacon, BBQ sauce marinade, and grilled to perfection.
You won’t believe how much flavor these skewers pack with just four simple ingredients! The combination of smoky bacon, juicy chicken, rich barbecue sauce, and a hint of char from the grill creates an irresistible bite every time.
Helpful Tips
- Puree the bacon – Pureeing the bacon helps it mix with the BBQ sauce to coat the chicken with all that flavor.
- Use thick barbecue sauce – A thicker sauce will stick to the skewers better, creating a delicious glaze without too much dripping or burning.
- Thread the chicken – Thread the chicken on to skewers making sure not to pack it on too tightly. Leaving space between the chicken pieces will ensure even cooking and crispiness.
