Ingredients

  • 1 cup (270g) ketchup
  • 1/4 cup (50g) packed dark brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons molasses
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon prepared mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • black pepper and red pepper flakes to taste
  • 3 pounds (1340g) boneless and skinless chicken breasts, cut into 2 inch pieces

Instructions

  • In a small bowl combine the ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, mustard, chili powder and peppers until combined. Reserve 1/2 cup of the sauce for serving. Place chicken and remaining bbq sauce in a large plastic bag. Seal and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. 
  • If using wooden skewers soak in water 30 minutes before grilling. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (350-400 degrees F). Lightly brush grill with cooking oil to help prevent sticking. (Do this by folding up a couple of paper towels then dipping into a small amount of oil. Using tongs brush the grates of the grill with oil soaked paper towel.)
  • Thread chicken pieces onto the soaked skewers. Grill, turning occasionally until meat is completely cooked (about 20-25 minutes). Serve with reserved BBQ sauce. 

Notes
