For the BBQ Chicken Skewers

• 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1½-inch cubes
  Tender, lean, and perfect for soaking up the smoky barbecue marinade. Chicken thighs work just as well for extra juiciness.
• ½ cup barbecue sauce
  Creates a sweet, smoky glaze that caramelizes beautifully on the grill.
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
  Locks in moisture and helps prevent sticking.
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  Adds rich, savory depth to every bite.
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  Balances the smoky flavors while giving the chicken a lightly caramelized finish.
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  Adds smoky flavor and vibrant color.
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
  These pantry staples build a bold, savory seasoning.
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
  Enhances and balances all the flavors.
• ½ teaspoon dried oregano
• ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  Add a subtle herbaceous touch.
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  Brightens the marinade and helps keep the chicken tender.
