Here is what you will need to make these wonderful Chicken Shish Kabobs:

  • Budweiser SWEET & SMOKY Barbecue SAUCE
  • Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Fresh pineapple, cut into spears
  • Zucchini quartered
  • bacon
  • salt and pepper to taste

Make your chicken Shish Kabobs over the top with flavor with the Budweiser SWEET & SMOKY BBQ SAUCE.

This sweet and smoky sauce is straight from the smokehouse. Made with Budweiser beer and the perfect blend of spices, this bold sauce is a true original.

Now that it’s almost summer, Budweiser Sauces are a great compliment to any grill or cookout.

TASTE THE BUDWEISER DIFFERENCE! Like the famous Budweiser beer, this genuine line of sauces contains only the finest ingredients for a truly exceptional taste experience. Budweiser Executive Chefs, in conjunction with the Brewmasters of Anheuser-Busch, have perfected the sauce recipes, assuring that the cooking experience is the best it can be. Taste the difference that only a premium sauce with the Budweiser name can deliver.

  11. Flip the skewers and brush the other side. Place on the prepared baking sheet to transfer to the grill.
