Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by soaking wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill. If you’re using metal skewers, you can skip this step.
  2. If using chicken or beef, marinate them in BBQ sauce for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator for extra flavor. For vegetables, toss them in some olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  3. Once marinated, thread the chicken, beef, or veggies onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each item.
Cowboy Butter Preparation

Grilling
  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high.
  2. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally until the meat is cooked through and the veggies are tender.
Serve
  1. Remove the skewers from the grill and drizzle generously with Cowboy Butter. Serve warm.
