Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil (divided)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 onion (diced)
  • 1 1/2 cups Texas style BBQ sauce
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 3 tablespoons whole grain Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon reduced sodium soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts (cut into 1-inch chunks)

Instruction

  • Heat 1 tablespoon canola oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and onion, and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Stir in BBQ sauce, honey, mustard, soy sauce, pepper and ginger. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the flavors have blended, about 3-5 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes.
  • In a gallon size Ziploc bag, combine chicken and half of BBQ sauce mixture. Marinate for at least 2 hours to overnight, up to 8 hours, turning the bag occasionally. Place remaining BBQ sauce mixture in the refrigerator.
  • Drain the chicken from the marinade, discarding the marinade.
  • Preheat grill to medium high heat. Thread chicken onto skewers. Brush with remaining 1 tablespoon canola oil; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Add skewers to grill, and cook, turning occasionally, until the chicken is completely cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 10-12 minutes. Brush skewers with remaining BBQ sauce mixture, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  • Serve immediately with remaining BBQ sauce mixture.
