Q&A
Can I use this marinade for any grilled chicken recipe?
Absolutely! Any cut of chicken meat can be used for this chicken marinade, including Chicken breasts, thighs, drumsticks or bone-in chicken legs!
How do grill Kabobs on a grill?
Grilling Chicken Kabobs is easy, especially considering how quick chicken meat takes to cook. Since the marinade is smothered all over the chicken meat, you simply skewer on the meat and pr-heat the grill on High. Once the grill is hot, (it’s important it is to prevent sticking issues) you place the skewers on and reduce the heat to medium to prevent scorched chicken. Set the timer to 4 minutes and then flip and repeat for another 4 minutes. That is it!
How do you grill Kabobs without Screwers?
If you’re out of wooden skewers or don’t own good metal skewers then a panini grill or roasting pan will get the job done. However, I do recommend cooking the Chicken whole in this case, but nothing a roasting dish or onto a panini grill can’t do. As of a result it’s important to cook at a high temperature to not dry out the chicken.
Roasting- Bake in a 450°F oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping once half way through.
Panini Maker- Heat Panini Grill to the highest heat settings and cook chicken kabobs for up-to 8 minutes or until done.
How long do Kabobs take on the grill?
What temperature do you grill chicken kabobs?
Cranking the grill on high is essential for the grill to heat up quickly, however once the kabobs hit the grill you want to turn down the temperature to a nice medium heat for preventing scorched chicken.
Why are my kabobs sticking to the grill?
The number one reason for things to stick is the lack of not heating the kitchen gadget correctly. You want to make sure your cooking device, whether it would be a non-stick pan, cast iron, grill or whatever, to be properly heated over a nice medium temperature. Then the food goes on and you give it time to sear. Flipping it too soon will also be another sign that it’s not time! When it is time, the chicken will flip easily without tearing.
Can I make ahead?
Yes! You can make chicken Kabobs a day in advance. The longer Kabobs marinade the better! Then proceed with the recipe.
