Barbecue Chicken Skewers

Simple, Smoky, and Seriously Good

Sometimes the best recipes are the simplest ones. These Barbecue Chicken Skewers prove that a few ingredients and the right technique deliver flavor that'll have you wishing you'd doubled the batch.

Marinated chicken gets charred on the Gravity 600 at 400°F, then finished with a barbecue sauce glaze that caramelizes into sweet, sticky perfection. Perfect for weeknight dinners, meal prep, or anytime you want skewers that actually deliver.

Master It with the Gravity 600

The Gravity 600 is built for this kind of cook. Set it to 400°F and let the GravityFed™ charcoal hopper and DigitalFan™ control maintain consistent heat while your skewers cook evenly. The charcoal grill delivers authentic char and smoke flavor that gas grills and electric smokers can't match.

This smoker grill combo gives you the high heat needed to crisp the edges and caramelize the sauce while keeping the chicken juicy inside.

Instructions

  1. 01

    Make the marinade: In a large bowl, combine the cubed chicken, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, and mustard. Mix until chicken is evenly coated.

  2. 02

    Marinate: Cover and refrigerate for 2-4 hours to let the flavors penetrate and tenderize the chicken.

  3. 03

    Prep skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes. Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto skewers, leaving small gaps between pieces for even cooking.

  4. 04

    Preheat your grill: Set your Masterbuilt Gravity 600 to 400°F.

  5. 05

    Grill the skewers: Place the chicken skewers directly on the smoker grill grates. Close the lid and cook for 30-45 minutes, turning halfway through for even char.

  6. 06

    Check temperature: When the internal temperature reaches 160°F, baste the skewers generously with barbecue sauce on all sides.

  7. 07

    Finish cooking: Continue grilling until the internal temperature hits 165°F and the barbecue sauce has caramelized into a sticky glaze, about 3-5 more minutes.

  8. 08

    Rest and serve: Remove skewers from the grill and let rest for 3-5 minutes. Serve hot with extra barbecue sauce on the side.

MASTER IT.

There's an app for that.
