BBQ Chicken Skewers are a go-to favourite for Aussie summer grilling — easy to prepare, packed with flavour, and ideal for entertaining outdoors. These skewers are marinated in a rich honey soy glaze, grilled until lightly charred, and served hot off the barbecue.
Perfect for family cookouts, parties, or weekend meals, these chicken skewers are tender, juicy, and coated in a sticky-sweet glaze that caramelises beautifully over flame. Serve them with a fresh salad, grilled corn, or over rice for a complete meal.
