Fancy BBQ Skewer Ideas

Here are some of our most favourite fancy BBQ skewer ideas for your summer barbecues!

Chicken, pineapple and bacon

Give pineapple a chance! Pineapple might not be popular on pizza, but on a BBQ kebab skewer, it is delicious. Combine with diced chicken, and rolls of streaky bacon for a magic combination.

Soy, garlic and ginger beef

This asian influenced BBQ skewer brings the best of stir-fry flavours to your barbecue. Just make a simple marinade from soy sauce, crushed garlic and crushed ginger (or ginger paste) and marinate your diced beef for 24 hours prior to cooking. Baste the beef during cooking for the juiciest of BBQ skewers.

Pork, fig and honey

Figs and honey, a true delight in flavour combinations. Mix with diced pork, which carries the sweetness with aplomb. The barbecue will soften the fig – just drizzle with honey at the end of the cooking process.

Tip: Don’t put the honey on before you grill these skewers, as the sugars in the honey will make burn before it has cooked properly.

Chorizo, peppers and mushrooms

This one packs a flavour punch. Intersperse slices of chorizo with peppers and mushrooms for a Spanish influenced kebab skewer.
