Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 2 | Boneless skinless chicken breast halves |

| 1 1/2 | Lemon pepper |
| 1/2 | Seasoning salt |
| 1/3 | Lemon juice |
| 1/3 | Honey |
Instructions:
-
Prepare Skewers: To prevent wooden skewers from burning, soak them in water first (you can add a little oil to the water to potentially help lock in the moisture longer). Fit bacon to chicken strips, then thread them onto the wooden skewers.
-
Prepare Marinade: In a bowl, combine the remaining ingredients: lemon pepper, seasoning salt, lemon juice, and honey.
-
Marinate Chicken: Add the chicken skewers to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. For optimal flavor infusion, marinate overnight. If possible, use a long plastic dish with a lid, and give it a light shake every so often to ensure even distribution of flavors.
-
Grill Chicken: When ready to cook, preheat your BBQ to medium heat. Reserve some marinade to baste the skewers while grilling. Place the skewers on the grill, about 4 to 5 inches from the heat source. Grill for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is crisp, turning occasionally and basting with the reserved marinade for extra flavor.
-
Serve: Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and serve hot. These Lemon Honey Chicken Skewers pair perfectly with your favorite side dishes, such as grilled vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
Additional Tips: Feel free to adjust the marinade ingredients according to your taste preferences. You can also customize these skewers by adding your favorite vegetables or switching up the seasoning for a unique twist. Don’t hesitate to double or triple the recipe if you’re cooking for a larger crowd, and make sure to prepare plenty of these irresistible skewers—they’re bound to disappear fast! Enjoy the sweet and tangy flavors of these Lemon Honey Chicken Skewers at your next gathering, and watch them become an instant favorite among family and friends. 🍗🍋
