Makes 2 pounds or about 5 or 6 skewers
This recipe is for making the chicken into skewers - so if you don’t want that, go ahead and use whole chicken thighs or breasts. It won’t be nearly as good, but you do you. And because you won’t be skewering the bacon either, I suggest you at least throw some on the grill, paint it with the sauce and when it’s done you’ll be really happy you did. See the video below for inspiration :)
2 pounds chicken, cut into one inch square bites, thighs preferably
5 or 6 slices thick cut bacon, cut into one inch pieces
Neutral oil
Sauce
1.5 cups bbq sauce
1/3 cup bourbon
3 tablespoons dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons sriracha
1.5 tablespoons yellow mustard
1 tablespoon neutral oil
1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon each Kosher salt & fresh ground pepper
· Thread alternating pieces of chicken and bacon on to skewers
· Combine all sauce ingredients in a large bowl and mix well to combine and set aside
· Pre-heat grill to medium high - as in leave it for about 10 minutes
· Spray grill with non-stick spray, lightly brush both sides of skewers with oil and place on grill
· Let cook on first side 2-3 minutes, or until good marks start to appear, then flip
· Now you can starting basting the top, cooked side
· Carry on like any grilling: saucing, turning, saucing turning until gorgeous and done - but not too done, no need to go beyond 165
· Then just remove, serve and eat
