Step by step

Method

4 steps

  1. 1

    Cut 1½ pounds boneless chicken thighs into 1½-inch pieces. Toss with 2 tablespoons oil, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and black pepper. Cover and chill 20–30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes. Thread the chicken with chunks of bell pepper and red onion, leaving a little space between pieces. Keep a clean brush and a separate bowl of ½ cup barbecue sauce ready.

  3. 3

    Heat a grill to medium-high, about 400–425°F. Grill the kebabs 10–14 minutes, turning every 3–4 minutes, until browned in spots and the chicken reaches 165°F.

  4. 4

    Brush with barbecue sauce during the last 2 minutes, turning once so it sticks without burning. Rest the kebabs 5 minutes, then serve with rice, slaw, or warm flatbread.
