Skewers are the ultimate easy barbecue option, as they're simple to put together, quick to cook and can be easily scaled up or down, depending on how many you're feeding

Stick with it

NO BBQ? RAINING OUTSIDE? NO PROBLEM!

All of these recipes can be cooked in a large griddle pan over medium-high heat. If you're using a griddle pan, you may have to cook the skewers in batches. Keep the cooked items hot in a warm oven while you finish the rest.
