Prep the pork loin skewers
Before getting the skewers on the grill, you need to cube up and season the meat. By cubing the pork loin, the cook will be faster and even throughout. Small sizes make the meat more tender and easy to chew.
Cut the pork loin into 1 inch cubes. Season with your choice of BBQ seasoning. Mix the cubes with the seasoning to ensure an even coat throughout.
Next, skewer 7-9 pork cubes onto a skewer and these are ready to hit the grill.
Side note: if using wooden skewers, soak them in water so they can absorb the moisture and not burn during the cooking process. I recommend using metal skewers. They are reusable and durable.
