Gluten Free BBQ Chicken on Skewers

Making gluten-free BBQ chicken skewers is a flavorful and fun dish, perfect for a barbecue or a casual dinner. Here’s a simple recipe:

1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
Wooden or metal skewers (if using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before grilling)
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 cup gluten-free BBQ sauce (ensure it's labeled gluten-free or make your own)
Optional: chopped vegetables such as bell peppers, onions, or cherry tomatoes for skewering

Preheat the Grill:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Prepare the Chicken:
- Season the chicken cubes with salt and pepper.
Skewer the Chicken:
- If using vegetables, alternate threading the chicken cubes and vegetables onto the skewers. Leave a little space between each piece to ensure even cooking.
Grill the Skewers:
- Place the skewers on the preheated grill.
- Grill for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has grill marks on all sides.
Brush with BBQ Sauce:
- In the last few minutes of grilling, brush the skewers generously with gluten-free BBQ sauce.
- Continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to caramelize slightly.
Serve:
- Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
- Serve hot with extra BBQ sauce on the side for dipping, if desired.

Marinade: For extra flavor, you can marinate the chicken cubes in BBQ sauce for 30 minutes to 1 hour before skewering.
Vegetables: Feel free to customize the skewers with your favorite vegetables. Just ensure they are cut into similar-sized pieces for even cooking.
Gluten-Free BBQ Sauce: Always check the label to ensure the BBQ sauce is gluten-free, or make your own using gluten-free ingredients like tomato sauce, vinegar, honey, and spices.
Side Dishes: Serve the skewers with gluten-free side dishes like grilled corn on the cob, coleslaw, or a green salad.

Enjoy your delicious gluten-free BBQ chicken skewers!
