Ingredients
SPICE RUB
- 2 tsp brown sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp dried minced onion flakes (or onion powder)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- heaping 1/4 tsp black pepper
CHICKEN KABOBS
- 2 lbs chicken breast, cut into 1/2 - 1 inch pieces
- Drizzle of olive oil
- green bell pepper, cut into 1/2 -1 inch pieces
- red onion, peeled and cut into 1/2 - 1 inch pieces
- fresh pineapple, cut into 1/2 - 1 inch pieces
- 8-12 lices center cut bacon, cut into 3 shorter pieces
- 1/2 cup your favorite BBQ sauce
- minced fresh parsley, for garnish
- pinch of black pepper, for garnish
Instructions
- If using metal skewers, no prep is needed. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes so they don't burn too much.
- Combine spice rub ingredients in a small bowl and toss to combine.
- Add chicken pieces, bacon and oil in a mixing bowl and toss with about 2/3 of the rub. I like to use my hands to really massage the rub into the meat.
- To another mixing bowl, add green pepper, onion, and pineapple. Toss with remaining rub.
- Wrap bacon pieces around the chicken, in a "C" shape, with the chicken inside. Thread bacon wrapped chicken, peppers, onion, and pineapple onto kabob skewers, alternating as desired.
TO GRILL:
- Lightly oil grill grates and heat over MED-HIGH heat. Grill kabobs 8-11 minutes, turning every few minutes, until cooked through and lightly charred on all sides. Baste with bbq sauce on both sides and cook 1 additional minute on each side to caramelize.
- Once cooked (using either method), sprinkle kabobs with a bit of fresh parsley and extra black pepper (if desired). Serve with extra bbq sauce and enjoy!
TO BROIL (OVEN):
- Heat broiler to HIGH, line a baking sheet (with a rim) with foil. Line up kabobs and broil 10-15 minutes, turning every 5 minutes, until cooked through. Baste with bbq sauce on both sides and broil 1-2 minutes on each side to caramelize.
- Once cooked (using either method), sprinkle kabobs with a bit of fresh parsley and extra black pepper (if desired). Serve with extra bbq sauce and enjoy!
