Grilled Honey Barbecue Chicken Kabobs

Lazy is my middle name this week.
I’m FED UP with feeling crappy . . . soooooo  . . . no more!
I have a scrumptious and super easy recipe for you today.
It’s certainly one of our favorites for the grill.

Our meat of choice was Chicken today, but Beef chunks is also delicious.
Marinating the chicken or beef makes it very tender.
It really doesn’t get easier than this.
We are pretty darn plain jane in this family.
The original recipe calls for Peppers and onions, but we just don’t have those taste buds!
I add just pineapple and little bell mushrooms for my sweet half.
That’s it!
Just pour the marinade over the chicken chunks.
Add the mushrooms, peppers and onions if you choose.
Don’t put the pineapple chunks in the marinade…..just wait.
Cover with saran wrap and place in the fridge for at least 2 hours or even overnight.
Heat the grill when you’re ready.
Place the meat & veggies & fruit on the skewers.
Mine are metal . . . if you use wooden . . . make sure you have soaked them in water first.
They will BURN if you don’t!
I like low to medium low heat.
Once they are done to your liking, or just a tad before . . .
Baste with your favorite BBQ Sauce.
There is only one thing left to do.
EAT!

    Honey BBQ Kabobs, how delicious they look. I enjoy your recipes, and your notations about them. You make me laugh! I’m curious, what is Canadian Seasoning?ReplyCancel

      Hi Anne,

      Canadian seasoning is a mixture of 5 spices, that works well for both steak & chicken. Sometimes the label will actually say
      Canadian Steak Seasoning. I like the TONE’S brand. I find it at Sam’s Club. If you can’t find it, substitute with your favorite
      chicken or steak seasoning blends. Thanks for leaving a sweet comment!

    Hi,

    Thanks for this great looking recipe I am going to try it this weekend. I came on to ask what is Canadian Seasoning too. Since I am from Canada you would think I should know, but I have never heard of it until I read your comment, then I realized that it probably is what we call Montreal Steak Spice Seasoning here.ReplyCancel

      Hi Tracy,

      At Sam’s club, the Canadian Seasoning and the Montreal Seasoning are two different spice blends.
      I have both, but much prefer the Canadian Seasoning blend. Hopefully you will be able to find it there.
      If not, use your favorite seasoning in the honey, soy sauce and oil combination.

      Thanks for commenting,

    I’m new to your blog, but lovin’ it. I made these kabobs last night and they were a huge success with my big family. Any recipe that pleases all six of us is a keeper. I mixed it up in the morning before work, and grilled it up quickly for dinner. Thanks!ReplyCancel

    This sounds wondeful. Can you tell me where the 2 cloves of garlic come in please? Thinking not on the skewers? Thanks.ReplyCancel

      I updated the instructions, so it will be a bit easier to understand.
