Indoor BBQ Chicken Skewers
"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.

~a mother of 2 kids (19 and 22) who are extremely picky eaters. The mere mention of "healthy" sends them running in the opposite direction. They prefer the creamy, cheesy, fried stuff that they weren't brought up on!
~a wife of a wonderful man who fights an expanding waistline and will lovingly eat most anything I set before him. Everything is 5 stars to him. :) He's the easiest customer a cook could ask for!
~a teacher who tends to reach for comfort foods to relieve stress. I am a middle school reading specialist. The miracles I see on a daily basis keeps me going! But it's also stressful, so keep me away from the cookie jar! I really have to fight off the sugary, fat-laden stuff that has no worth beyond the momentary comfort in my mouth.
~and I'm also a daughter who was brought up on home cooked meals back when calories meant nothing and taste was everything! That is an idea built into my system that's hard to shake! My mother raised 8 kids (I'm #7) on her home-cooking and I always teased her that she didn't raise a single skinny kid! I luckily inherited her great love of cooking and baking. (I miss you Mom!)
