Delicious Chicken Skewers with a Sweet & Smoky Twist

Discover a mouthwatering twist on classic chicken skewers with our Sweet & Smoky BBQ Chicken Skewers. These chicken skewers feature tender, juicy pieces of chicken marinated in a balanced blend of sweet barbecue sauce and smoky spices. The result is a dish that delivers a delightful combination of caramelized sweetness and deep, rich smokiness in every bite.

Rich Flavors That Enhance Every Bite

The key to these chicken skewers is the marinade—a harmonious mix of sweet and smoky ingredients that transforms the chicken into a succulent delight. Using boneless, skinless chicken thighs cut into uniform 4 cm pieces (about 900 grams), the marinade is made with a generous amount of barbecue sauce, a splash of extra virgin olive oil, a touch of honey, and a blend of spices including smoked paprika and garlic powder. This medley not only imparts a deep, smoky flavor but also tenderizes the meat for incredibly juicy chicken skewers.

Perfect Pairings to Elevate Your Meal

These Sweet & Smoky BBQ Chicken Skewers pair beautifully with a variety of side dishes and dipping sauces that further enhance their flavor. For instance, a serving of Greek Lemon Herb Rice provides a light and citrusy complement, while Grilled Mediterranean Vegetables with Feta adds a fresh, tangy contrast. For those who love a hearty touch, Garlic Butter Flatbreads offer a perfect base to soak up the extra sauce.

Ingredients
  

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil, barbecue sauce, honey, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken pieces and toss until each piece is thoroughly coated with the marinade. Cover the bowl with cling film and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the chicken skewers to absorb the flavors.
  • Preheat your grill to 200°C (400°F) and lightly oil the grates.
  • Thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers, ensuring that the pieces are evenly spaced.
  • Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning every few minutes, until the chicken is nicely charred and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 75°C [165°F]).
  • Remove the chicken skewers from the grill and let them rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
