Talking about marinade, its really simple and easy- Just mix all the ingredients listed below, marinate the chicken overnight and whoala!! Delectable dinner is waiting for you and your family. This Chicken barbecue is also perfect food for any occasion, couldn't be more perfect for summer grilling season. I'll surely grill more chicken barbecue's very soon!

1/2 cup ketchup

1 lemon

2 clove garlic- finely chopped

1/4 cup sprite or 2 teaspoon sugar (optional)

salt and pepper- to taste

Bamboo skewers

Barbecue Sauce: I mix half ketchup into 1/4 soy sauce and mix them well. You can also used your favorite barbecue sauce if you want. Enjoy!

 Directions:

1.) Prepare all the ingredients by chopping the onion, garlic and the chicken. 

2.) In large container just combine the soy sauce, ketchup, lemon juice , salt and pepper. The sprite is optional but it add flavor to the dish I highly recommend to add it to the mixture but if you don't feel comfortable with sprite, a little sugar will do.:)

3.) Combine the chicken,onion, garlic and the marinade sauce. Let it set for couple hours before grilling. I do mine overnight..:)

4.) Turn on the Griddler or Grill. Meantime, skew the chicken into the bamboo skewers until everything is done.

5.) Start grilling the chicken barbeque. Brush little marinade if you have to. It would take couple minutes on each side and.. DONE!

6.) Enjoy the chicken barbeque with your family and friends..:)
