Indoor BBQ Chicken Skewers

Submitted by DuChick

"When the weather keeps you from your outdoor grill, this is a recipe that will remind you of warmer days ahead! Straight from America's Test Kitchens, the recommended brand of store-bought barbecue sauce is Bull's-Eye, although you can certainly mix up your own favorite recipe. You'll need four 12" skewers."

loved the mix of spices and used on my chicken and cooked in a little oil, serving over rice and omitting the sauce part of recipe this time. Thanks so much

These were a big hit with the family. I used chicken thighs and broiled the skewers in the oven.

The spices on the chicken was a 5 stars. We didn't baste cause DH didn't want. I made the sauce also, but we prefered the chicken without the sauce. I'll do the chicken skewers again but just with the spices. Thanks DuChick. Made for 123 hit wonders

These are awesome! And I only made one change. I threw them on the grill. DH really enjoyed the chicken without the dip sauce. He thought it took away from the barbecue flavor. I on the other hand really enjoyed it with the sauce. Although it is excellent without. Very easy to prepare and looks great plated. Would be great for outdoor party. Thanks for posting.

Fantastic! The seasonings are terrific. I used Bulls Eye barbeque sauce. The dipping sauce that is made with the barbeque sauce and sour cream is wonderful. Thanks for posting this recipe. Worth everyone of the 5 stars in the rating.
