Grilled Honey BBQ Bacon Chicken Kabobs

These saucy kabobs are so easy to make and loaded with flavor – they’ll be the hit at your next backyard BBQ! 

I have the best summer grilling recipe for you today. Really, the best. My original idea for these kabobs was pretty boring. Chicken + sauce. But then I thought, you know what this chicken needs?? BACON. Everything is better with bacon right? Right. So bacon came to join this party, and woah… thank heaven it did.

The honey bbq sauce on these skewers is to-die-for yummy. My husband went nuts for it so you know it’s definitely man-approved. The best part is that this meal comes together in 20-30 minutes. Bata-bing-bata-boom! Yummmmm.  Try it, you’re gonna love it!

I gladly accepted the kiss, but passed the credit on to you  After we finished eating, we all agreed that these were the best kabobs we’d ever tried.
