BBQ chicken skewers have a rich history dating back to ancient civilizations, where meat was cooked on skewers over an open flame. This cooking method has evolved over time, with different regions adding their own unique flavors and techniques. In the United States, BBQ chicken skewers are a popular dish at backyard cookouts and summer gatherings. Renowned chefs like Bobby Flay and Gordon Ramsay have put their own spin on this classic dish, incorporating a variety of marinades and sauces to enhance the flavor.
