Instructions
Make the sauce
Add all Fruit Cocktail BBQ Sauce ingredients to a blender; cover and puree.
Pour into a small saucepan and bring to a simmer (slightly bubbling) over medium.
Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered until desired consistency, about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Adjust seasoning.
Set aside. Or refrigerate in a jar for up to one week. Makes 1 1/3 cups. (Note: You’ll have extra sauce!)
Make the topping
In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper.
Add the fruit cocktail and cilantro and stir to combine; set aside. Makes 2/3 cup.
Make the skewers
Insert chicken onto 4 metal or water-soaked bamboo skewers (7 inches or longer).
Brush chicken with the oil and sprinkle with the salt.
Grill the chicken skewers until grill marks form and well done, about 10 minutes.
Slather with ½ cup of the Fruit Cocktail BBQ Sauce and continue grilling until rich grill marks form, about 3 minutes more.
For serving
Transfer the BBQ chicken skewers to a platter and lightly brush with about 1 to 2 tablespoons of the remaining Fruit Cocktail BBQ Sauce, if desired.
Sprinkle with the Fruit Cocktail Topping and serve.
