Ingredients:  
2lbs. chicken tenders
1 (packed) cup brown Sugar
1 cup ketchup
1/4 cup red wine vinegar

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons ground mustard
2 teaspoons Paprika
1-1/2 teaspoons kosher salt

Marinade:

Mix brown sugar, ketchup, red wine vinegar, water, pure maple syrup Worcestershire sauce, ground mustard, paprika, kosher salt and pepper in a large bowl. Place chicken tenders in marinade. Cover and let chicken marinade for at least 2-4 hours or overnight. I like to throw all the ingredients into a Ziplock and let it marinade this way.

If you are using metal skewers skip this part, if you are using wood skewers follow the directions below.

Now I know there is a debate whether or not to soak your skewers and to each their own. But I soak mine, I have found that I get less wood pieces in the chicken and they don’t go up in flames. They still may char a tad, but not following apart or on fire.

I completely soak my skewers for 30 minutes, sometimes accidently longer, like the whole day. Make sure the entire stick is completely dredge in water. Once they have soaked, remove and start to assemble the skewers.

Kabobs:

Remove the chicken from the fridge, one piece at a time grab a tender and lace through the skewer. I start at the chunkier end and do a weave motion. Or you can just slide the entire tender on the kabob and not make it all fancy like a wave. Either way, they will taste the same. Set kabob on a plate and repeat the process. Once completed drizzle extra marinade over the chicken, and let it sit while grill is heating up.

Heat gas or charcoal grill, remove chicken from marinade. Place chicken on grill over medium heat. Cover grill and cook 3 minutes, then turn over the kabob and cook another 3 minutes. At this point check the chicken. To know if the chicken is done the juices should be clear and the center of thickest part is cut (170°F). If not done, continue to cook, at this point I leave the lid open and just turn the kabobs so they are cooked evenly on both sides. My chicken takes about 8-10 minutes.

Remove from grill and serve immediately. Or cover with foil and serve later.

Great to serve with grilled corn on the cob, cornbread – my favorite Sweet Jalapeno Cornbread and coleslaw.
