Rating

A nice 4.

Notes: Do NOT slam the heat to your chicken. It will dry out, burn on the outside and you won’t get the center cooked to a safe temperature. You really must use a meat thermometer to get this or any grilling done right.

Blog note: I’m in recovery mode. My trusty laptop was killed Sunday by puppies and coffee. I’m learning new software and Windows 8 … insert nasty words here. My coffee destroyed computer is back to life, but I have decided to push ahead with the newer technology if I don’t smash it.

Protecting the homestead

Start by preheating your gas grill to medium high for most grills. You want your surface temperature 450-500 degrees. My super duper Weber this is medium. Of course clean and oil the grill.

Trim 2 skinless boneless chicken breast. Cut into 1-inch cubes or a little bigger.

Mix with two teaspoons olive oil 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.

Thread on to skews. I like metal, but wood will do but you should soak them first and your 30 minutes meal will not happen.

Place over direct heat and grill each side for 5-6 minutes before turning. Continue until internal temp of 155 or so. 13-15 minutes total here. Now brush all sides with your favorite BBQ sauce. Cook another 2 minutes per side (4 minutes total) until nice color and an internal temperature of 165.
