Why Choose Smoking Blue Bonnet for Your BBQ


Smoking Blue Bonnet is crafted to bring out the best in your ingredients without overpowering them. This rub enhances the natural taste of the meat and vegetables, making every bite balanced and flavorful.


Ingredients for the Skewers


  • 2 pounds chicken breast, cut into cubes

  • 2 tablespoons Smoking Blue Bonnet seasoning

  • 2 teaspoons olive oil

  • 2 bell peppers, cut into chunks

  • 1 red onion, cut into chunks

  • 1 zucchini, sliced thick

  • Wooden or metal skewers


Using fresh, quality ingredients is essential. The chicken breast should be firm and fresh, and vegetables should be crisp and colorful to add visual appeal and texture.


Step-by-Step Directions


  1. Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.

  2. Cut all ingredients into similar sizes to ensure even cooking.

  3. Toss the chicken cubes with olive oil and Smoking Blue Bonnet seasoning until evenly coated.

  4. Alternate pieces of chicken and vegetables on the skewers for a colorful presentation.

  5. Preheat your grill to medium heat.

  6. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, turning occasionally to brown all sides evenly.

  7. Use a meat thermometer to check that the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F for safe consumption.

  8. Serve the skewers immediately while hot.


This method keeps the chicken juicy and tender, while the vegetables get a nice char that adds depth to their flavor.


Tips for a Successful Summer Grill


  • Prep ahead: Marinate the chicken with the rub and oil a few hours before grilling to deepen the flavor.

  • Keep the grill clean: A clean grill prevents sticking and flare-ups.

  • Control the heat: Medium heat allows the chicken and vegetables to cook through without burning.

  • Use fresh wood chips: For extra smoky flavor, add soaked wood chips to your grill.


These simple tips help you get the most out of your grilling experience.
