Game Day BBQ Chicken Skewers

As my hubby would say "Football is back, baby!!!"

Which means, we've got a whole new season of Monday & Thursday Nights, plus my favorite #SundayFunday snacks ahead of us!

This recipe is a great one to use in September, because you can still employ the BBQ and with this recipe you can even hold onto a few of those summer flavours!

This recipe was inspired by the same flavours that I love on a Game Day Hawaiian Style Pizza, with a BBQ Sauce base.

OBC TIP: Start by soaking your bamboo skewer sticks in water for a minimum of 20-minutes before building them. The water will help ensure the skewer stick doesn't catch fire on the grill!

You'll Need: 

• 3 x 8 oz chicken breasts, cut into cubes
• 100 g sliced roasted ham
• 1 x red onion or vidalia onion
• 1 x large pineapple OR 1 can pineapple slices
• 2 tbsp chicken & rib rub (or similar)
• Salt & Pepper to taste
• 1 bottle of your favourite bbq sauce

Directions: 

Step 1: Cut up all the ingredients into similar sized pieces. The goal is to build a skewer that will have all the pieces get some contact with the heat while allowing all the elements to cook at the same time.  For the ham, take 1 piece and cut it in half, then roll and fold it up to be a little ham package that's about the same size as the other piece (image below)

Step 2: Season your chicken with some rub. I used a chicken and rib rub, but you can truly use whatever you'd like! Something like the Garlic & Herb Pampered Chef rub or. even the Smoky Applewood BBQ Rub would be delicious!

Step 3: Build each skewer alternating ingredients! I enjoyed starting most of the skewers with a Pineapple to be the base piece, and then added the other ingredients accordingly!

Step 4: BBQ these beauties over medium-low heat so they have time to cook through and get lovely and roasted. When they are about 2 - 3 minutes away from being done, use a silicone basting brush to add some of your favourite sweet & smoky BBQ sauce. Once the sauce has just started to caramelize, you'll know there are ready to go! 

These are great right off the BBQ and onto a plate, or you can serve them up with a fresh sprinkle or lemon or lime juice on top and even some fresh parsley for a little colour! 

I hope you're a fan of this recipe as much as we were!
