25 Memorial Day BBQ Food Ideas Everyone Loves

Soak wooden skewers in water for 20–30 minutes so they don’t burn on the grill.

Pat the chicken dry, then toss it in a bowl with olive oil and BBQ seasoning until coated.

Thread skewers in a red-white pattern using red pepper, white onion, and chicken pieces so they look festive.

Preheat the grill to medium-high and lightly oil the grates using a paper towel dipped in oil and held with tongs from your grill tool set.

Grill skewers 10–12 minutes total, turning every 2–3 minutes so the chicken browns evenly.

Check doneness with an instant-read thermometer; chicken should reach 165°F.

Serve on a large serving tray and scatter blueberries around the platter for a cute blue accent.
