ingredients
Chicken- 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1½ inch pieces
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juce
- ½ tsp dried Italian herbs
- ¼ tsp kosher salt

directions
- Place chicken in a shallow dish and toss with olive oil, white wine vinegar, lemon juice, Italian herbs, salt and pepper. Let chicken marinate while preparing the barbeque sauce.
- For the barbecue sauce, in a medium saucepan, combine ketchup, cola, brown sugar, cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic and hot sauce. Whisk until well combined. Bring to a boil over medium heat, turn to low and let gently simmer for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in butter.
- Preheat a lightly oiled grill to medium-high heat and thread chicken pieces onto skewers. Discard any remaining marinade. Grill skewers for 10 to 15 minutes, turning after 8 minutes, until juices run clear and chicken is cooked through. Baste with barbeque sauce in the last 5 minutes of cooking. Serve skewers with remaining barbeque sauce.
