Combine all marinade ingredients in a large gallon size plastic bag.
Cut the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into 1 to 1 1/2-inch cubes and place the chicken into the plastic. Close it tight and marinate for at least 4 hours (no more than 8 hours).

Soak Wood Skewers: About one hour before grilling place wooden skewers into water. *No need to follow this step if using metal skewers.
Preheat Grill: Prepare grill for two-zone grilling, preheated to 450-500 degrees Fahrenheit, using lump charcoal.
Prepare Chicken: After the marinade process is done, remove the chicken cubes from the bag and discard the marinade. Take two skewers and slowly add the chicken to the skewers. Then add two slices of red onion and then more chicken. The goal is to get five or six skewers, alternating the chicken with the onion.
After the skewers are done, season the chicken with the dry rub
Grill Kebabs: Place kebabs over direct heat and cook for about 8 minutes, then flip the chicken skewers and continue grilling for an additional 7 minutes over direct heat. Check temperature. If not yet at 160 degrees Fahrenheit, move the skewers to the indirect side to finish until the chicken reaches 160 degrees F. (Carry-over cooking will ensure the meat rises to 165 degrees.)
Remove and serve.
