Ingredients:

• 1 lb boneless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 8 slices bacon
• 1/4 cup bourbon whiskey
• 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes

Instructions:

To make the marinade, combine the smoked paprika, garlic powder, BBQ sauce, bourbon whiskey, salt, and pepper in a bowl

Pour the marinade over the chicken cubes in a plastic bag that can be sealed

For optimal flavor, seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight

Set your grills temperature to medium-high

As the grill heats up, wrap a slice of bacon around each chicken cube and thread them onto the soaked wooden skewers, switching between the bacon slices with the chicken wrappers

Grates should be oiled once the grill is hot to avoid sticking

After putting the chicken kebabs on the grill, cook them for ten to fifteen minutes, rotating them once or twice, or until the bacon is crisp and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165F 74C

For added flavor, baste the kebabs with some of the remaining marinade during the final five minutes of grilling

Before serving, take the kebabs off the grill and give them some time to rest

If preferred, serve your hot Bacon Bourbon BBQ Chicken Kebabs with additional BBQ sauce on the side for dipping
