Who doesn’t like to eat food on a stick? Portable and delicious these Chicken Kabobs with Blackberry BBQ Sauce will be the hit of your next neighborhood grilling bash.

When you live in farm country, you eat a lot meat. Our neighbors are good to us. We have local butcher shops where we can buy top quality meats that we know were raised in our backyards. But just because you live in a rural community, it doesn’t mean you can’t eat like a king!

Grilling and summer go hand and hand in our home. If it’s hot we break out the charcoal grill and get cooking. Thankfully it hot most evenings, so hubby does the grilling. He’s obsessed with charcoal and enjoys adding different woods for smoke and flavor.

The Blackberry BBQ sauce puts these Chicken Kabobs in a category all their own. Think gourmet restaurant quality entree!  We are so fortunate to be able to grow some of our own food here in rural PA. The blackberry bushes have been very good to us this year. I’ve had to get creative and us them in many meals from morning to night. I hope you enjoy the Chicken Kabobs with Blackberry BBQ Sauce as much as our family did. YUM!
