Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 16 oz barbecue sauce
  • ¼ cup bourbon
  • 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1″ pieces
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground white pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 tablespoons paprika
  • 3 tablespoons packed dark brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 6 slices raw bacon, cut into small pieces

Instruction

  • Light the grill and heat to medium-high
  • In a small bowl, combine the BBQ sauce and bourbon. Mix well.
  • In a food processor, combine the kosher salt, white pepper, onion powder, paprika, garlic powder, dark brown sugar, smoked paprika, and bacon. Pulse until completely smooth.
  • Put the chicken thigh pieces in a bowl and then rub with the bacon paste. Once well-coated, thread the chicken thigh pieces onto skewers (pre-soaked, if they’re wooden).
  • Place the kebabs on the preheated grill. Cook for about 5 minutes per side, or until nearly cooked through.
  • Brush the kebabs with the bourbon barbecue sauce and cook for an additional minute on each side.
  • Serve with the remaining BBQ sauce.
