Barbecue Chicken Bruschetta
Perfectly portioned and full of flavor, these zesty chicken bruschetta bites are an ideal appetizer.
Marinate the chicken in olive oil with a mixture of garlic, brown sugar, chili powder, and other spices, then throw it on the grill for a satisfying combo of hot and sweet. This Pomegranate Barbecue Sauce adds a tart and tangy touch, but a slightly sweet purchased barbecue sauce, like Sweet Baby Ray’s, tastes great, too.
