Step two

Step three
When ready to cook, preheat your grill to hot. If using wooden skewers, soak for 10-20 minutes before cooking.
Step four – Chicken Skewers
Cut chicken thighs into 1 inch pieces and place in a large mixing bowl. Add the garlic, olive oil, lime juice, and toss. Let chicken set for 10 minutes. Then place 4 chicken pieces onto a skewer. Repeat with remaining chicken.
Step five
Pour about a cup of the BBQ sauce into a bowl. Place skewers onto the grill and cook for 5 minutes on each side. Baste chicken with BBQ sauce and cook for another 3 minutes.
Step six
