– 1.5 lbs chicken breast, cut into 1-inch pieces
– 1/2 cup maple syrup

– 2 tablespoons soy sauce
– 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Instructions
1. 1. In a large bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, BBQ sauce, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.

3. 3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
4. 4. Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers.
5. 5. Grill the skewers for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
