Equipment

  • 1 grilling skewers wooden or metal
  • 1 large bowl for marinating
  • 1 measuring cups and spoons
  • 1 whisk or fork
  • 1 grill or grill pan
  • 1 tongs

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • ¼ cup honey
  • ¼ cup BBQ sauce
  • ¼ cup beer (lager or ale)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • to taste salt
  • to taste pepper
  • optional: chopped green onions or sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the honey, BBQ sauce, beer, soy sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Add the cubed chicken to the bowl and toss to coat all the pieces evenly in the marinade.
  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the chicken to a zip-top bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).
  • Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 15 minutes to prevent burning.
  • Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
  • Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
  • Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
  • Garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds, if desired, and serve warm.

Notes

Serve the skewers with extra BBQ sauce on the side for dipping.
Pair with a side salad, grilled vegetables, or rice for a complete meal.
Feel free to customize by adding vegetables such as bell peppers or onions to the skewers.
If you have leftover skewers, they can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
