Chicken Skewers

Chicken skewers or “brochetas de pollo” as they are known in Mexico, have to be another favourite dish of the BBQ season. They are perfect to have on their own, or with a few other things in the mix like our Mexican Burger or Mexican Steak recipe. The truth is that with a few simple ingredients you’re able to prepare a very nice meal at home in no time. Our favourite way to serve this chicken skewer recipe is with some warm Gran Luchito Soft Taco Wraps, Gran Luchito Salsa or some Crunchy Salsa Macha, and limes on the side, all ready to be shared and make some delicious tacos. These are the main components for our Chicken Skewers: Chicken thighs: if you can buy them skinless and deboned then you’ve got half of the work done. Thighs are our first choice of chicken, not only do they have more flavour but the fatty bits on chicken thigh skewers help to keep the meat moist whilst grilling. If you prefer a leaner version we suggest using a mix of chicken breast and thighs. Peppers: green, yellow or red. Any kind works and when the juices from the chicken mix with the grilled peppers it is just heaven! Onion: white or red take your pick, we don’t need to tell you how delicious onions turn out when they are grilled, all of those charred edges are what it’s all about. Good seasoning: a good simple seasoning it’s all you need and we love putting our trio of spice mixes to good use. Gran Luchito Fajita & Taco Mixes is one of the easiest and tastiest ways to season your chicken kebab recipe, Chipotle, Guajillo or Habanero each one of them bring something different and delicious to your grilled chicken. Oil for brushing: olive oil, rapeseed or any vegetable oil is good when grilling as it helps to avoid the kebab skewers from sticking to the grill and to get that delicious charred effect. Tips when cooking a chicken skewer: Don’t forget to cut your ingredients in more or less the same size so they cook more evenly over the grill. If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for 20 minutes before using to avoid them from
