Whiskey, bacon puree and BBQ sauce make these grilled chicken kabobs wonderfully delicious.
16 oz. BBQ sauce
1/4 cu. bourbon whiskey
2 tbl. apple cider vinegar
4-5 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts, washed and patted dry, cut into 1”x1” pieces
2 tsp. kosher salt
1 tsp. fresh black pepper
¼ cu. sweet paprika
3 tbl. packed dark brown sugar
1 tbl. smoked paprika
6 slices bacon, cut into small pieces, raw
10 12-inch wooden skewers (soaked in water for an hour)
Preheat the grill.
In a medium bowl combine barbecue sauce, vinegar and whiskey. Whisk to combine. Set aside.
Add bacon to the bowl of your food processor and blend until bacon becomes a paste. Add salt, pepper, paprikas, and sugar. Pulse until well combined.
Add bacon paste mixture to chicken; mix until chicken is completely coated. Place chicken on skewers.
Place on grill. Cook on each side for 2-3 minutes. Brush cooked surface with BBQ and cook each side (coated in sauce) for 1 additional minute.
Remove kebabs from grill. Pour remaining BBQ sauce into a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Pour into a serving container and serve sauce along side kebabs.
