• 1 teaspoon garlic salt
• 1 teaspoon ground red pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried basil leaves
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
• 1/4 teaspoon rubbed sage
• 4 chicken breast halves, boneless and skinless, cut into 1 inch thick strips
• 12 slices bacon

Method

Preheat gas grill to medium high heat. Prepare spice mix by combining onion powder, garlic salt, ground red pepper, basil, thyme, and sage in a small bowl then set aside. Place chicken strips on cutting board and season one side with half of spice mixture. Turn chicken over and season other side. Wrap 1 slice bacon around each chicken spear. Carefully weave each seasoned chicken spear onto a water soaked wooden skewer. Leaving exposed end of skewer away from heat, place each chicken spears onto prepared grill. Grill for 12 minutes on each side, or until juices run clear. During last 5 minutes of grilling, generously coat each chicken spear with barbecue sauce. Remove from heat and serve immediately with extra barbecue sauce on the side.
