A great way to spice up the traditional grill fare of hamburgers and hot dogs is to throw on some skewers. These Sweet N’ Spicy Bacon Wrapped Chicken Skewers are a delicious combination of sweet, salty, and spicy. A fresh new choice for your next family barbecue, cook out , or summer gathering- they are ideal as an appetizer or as a main dish served along with sides.
You can even make these bacon wrapped skewers up the night before, wrap tightly, place in fridge, and remove when ready to grill for minimal work. I love anything that makes prep easier and gives me more time with my guests.
Grilling Tip: To keep your skewers from becoming singed, soak them in water for a couple hours before using.
Remember to wash your hands before, during, and after prep when working with raw chicken.
