Sage Hen & Chukar Kabobs with Chipotle Barbeque Sauce

(NOTE: If this is too hot for you, simply use your favorite barbeque sauce. )

1) Cut sage hen breasts into 1 inch pieces, put in Ziploc bag and add ½ cup Soy Vay Veri Veri Teriyaki marinade. Marinate for 1 hour.

2) Cut chukar breasts into large enough pieces for skewers. Season chukar with a very light amount of Grill Mates Peppercorn and Garlic Marinade seasoning rub.

3) Soak 8 bamboo skewers in water for about 20 minutes to keep them from burning on the grill or under the broiler.

4) Mix the barbecue sauce, lemon juice, mustard, chipotles, red pepper flakes, cayenne pepper and 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper in a bowl (or if this looks to be too spicy, you can just use your favorite barbeque sauce in place of this mixture). Set aside half of the sauce for dipping.

5) Cut 6 slices of bacon into 1 inch pieces.

6) Skewer sage hen pieces onto two skewers adding a piece of bacon into between each piece. Do the same with the chukar. Brush half of the barbeque sauce onto the skewers.

7) Heat your BBQ grill to high and be sure that it’s good and hot. Place skewers on tinfoil or direct on barbeque. Cook 3-5 minutes turning the meat at the halfway point to ensure that the bacon is thoroughly cooked. Do not overcook the tender meat.

Remove from heat and serve with the chipotle barbeque sauce!
