Scale

Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together oil, honey, soy sauce, lime juice and pepper, brown sugar, Canadian Seasoning, garlic powder or minced garlic & red pepper flakes.
- Place the chicken, onions, peppers and mushrooms in the bowl, and marinate in the refrigerator at least 2 hours (the longer the better).
- Preheat the grill for low heat.
- Drain marinade from the chicken and vegetables, and discard marinade. Thread chicken and vegetables alternately onto the skewers. (If using wooden skewers-soak in water first)
- Lightly oil the grill grate. Place the skewers on the grill. Cook for 12 to 15 minutes, until chicken juices run clear. Turn and brush with your favorite BBQ Sauce
- Note: I mix BBQ sauce and and a couple tablespoons of pineapple juice together.
