Instructions

Let’s start making BBQ kebabs! First, I mix spices like paprika, garlic powder, cumin, and a bit of cayenne. Then, I coat the chicken pieces with this spice mix.

Next, I put the chicken and veggies like bell peppers, onions, and zucchini on skewers. Sometimes, I add pineapple for sweetness. This makes my kebabs look bright and tasty.

Now, I heat my grill to medium-high. I put the kebabs on the grill and cook for 8-10 minutes. I turn them often to cook evenly and get nice grill marks.

Before taking them off the grill, I brush the kebabs with BBQ sauce. This adds more flavor and makes them look great. The end result is juicy, tasty chicken kebabs that everyone will love!

Tip: No grill? No problem! You can make these kebabs under the broiler in your oven. Just follow similar timing and techniques.

Making chicken kebabs is easy with these steps. It’s great for grilling experts and beginners alike. This recipe will help you make delicious BBQ chicken kebabs every time.

Tips, Tricks & Storing

I’ve got some great chicken kebab cooking tips to share! Soak wooden skewers in water before grilling. This keeps them from burning and makes your kebabs look great. Cut all your ingredients the same size for even cooking. It’s a simple trick that makes a big difference.

Wrapping bacon around chicken pieces is a tasty trick. It adds flavor and keeps everything in place. For easy cleanup, lightly oil your grill grates. This prevents sticking and gives your kebabs beautiful grill marks.

Storing grilled kebabs is easy. Put any leftovers in an airtight container and keep them in the fridge for up to 4 days. When you’re ready to eat, reheat in the microwave or oven. Just be careful not to overcook the chicken. If you want to prep ahead, you can assemble your kebabs 1-2 days before grilling and store them covered in the refrigerator.
