Easy Grilled Chicken & Bacon Skewers
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 3 large boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into 25 1" cubes
- 1 lb bacon
- 1 lb large shrimp deveined (optional)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp homemade bbq rub or your favorite rub
- 1 cup homemade bbq sauce or your fav glaze
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley finely chopped
Instructions
- Light your grill and set it up for two zone cooking.
- While the grill is preheating, place five chicken pieces on a flat skewer, weaving a double slice of bacon around each piece of chicken. Repeat till the chicken is all on skewers.
- Divide the optional shrimp into three equal portions, and place them on sets of double skewers. Using a double skewer prevents the shrimp from spinning on a single skewer.
- Evenly coat the chicken and shrimp skewers with a light coat of neutral oil, and then lightly season both with the BBQ rub.
- Place the chicken skewers on the grill, over direct heat. Let them cook until evenly charred on all sides, about six minutes total, flipping often.
- Move the chicken to the indirect side of the grill and glaze with BBQ sauce. Close the grill’s lid and allow the sauce to set for four minutes.
