Let the fun,fireworks, and of course cookouts begin!We love Fourth of July. It is the holiday that officially marks the beginning of Summer, or bringing with it all sorts of outdoor activities. The beach,the pool, and the park are all some of our favorite places to visit during the hot Summer days, and I am not going to lie,sometimes, I really wish I could carry my grill around with me everywhere we go.
Fourth of July is the perfect day to bring together family and friends for a superb, or used-fashioned backyard cookout,and nothing says cookout like barbecue sauce. A thick, smoky, or perfectly sticky barbecue sauce can transform your grilled meat into something special when given the right flavors.

They are so simple to make. Simply thread the chicken on some skewers alternating with some vegetables. I used bell peppers and onion. plot them on the grill to cook, turning them occasionally to get that nice char on all sides. Let cook for approximately 10 to 15 minutes.

When the chicken skewers are nearly cooked through, or brush them with plenty of the honey-chipotle barbecue sauce,and they are done! Pair them with some bread, corn, or tortillas,and you are set for the day.
