Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine BBQ sauce, brown sugar, oregano, garlic, cayenne pepper, and paprika. Mix well and set aside half for basting.
- Trim excess fat from chicken breasts and cut into uniform 1.5-inch cubes. Season with salt and pepper, then add half of the marinade and toss to coat.
- Cover and marinate for at least 20 minutes at room temperature, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.
- Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes. Thread chicken cubes onto the skewers, alternating with red bell pepper pieces.
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F). Ensure coals are covered with white ash if using charcoal.
- Grill skewers for about 2-3 minutes per side, basting with reserved marinade until a charred appearance is achieved and chicken is cooked through (internal temp of 165°F).
- Let skewers rest for a few minutes to redistribute juices, then sprinkle with fresh chopped cilantro before serving.
- Serve immediately with sides such as salad, rice, or grilled vegetables.

Notes
For best flavor, marinate overnight and always preheat your grill to achieve the best char marks. Use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking.
