MARINADE FOR CHICKEN KABOBS



Marinade for Chicken Kabobs image

This is a great marinade for kabobs, do not marinade the chicken for more than 5 hours or the lemon juice will start to *cook* the chicken. This recipe may be doubled to 10-12 breasts but prepare two separate marinades in two separate bowls, do not combine the doubled marinade into one bowl. Feel free to thread on you favorite veggies such as mushrooms, cherry tomatoes or whatever you desire! If you prefer a sweeter glaze then increase the honey by a couple tablespoons.

Time 20m

Yield 18 chicken kabobs, 9 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 garlic cloves
1 small onion, chopped
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon cardamom
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 cup plain yogurt
18 boneless skinless chicken thighs (or 12 boneless, skinless breasts, cut in 1-inch cubes)
olive oil, as needed
salt
Italian parsley, chopped
lemon wedge
18 bamboo skewers (soaked in water, or metal skewers)

Steps:

  • Puree the garlic, onion, spices, lemon juice and yogurt in the container of a blender or food processor.
  • Place the chicken in a non-aluminum container and cover with the marinade. Turn well to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to 12 hours.
  • Preheat the broiler or make a charcoal fire.
  • Thread the chicken on skewers, brush with a little oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook about 4 to 5 minutes per side for thigh meat, 3 to 4 minutes per side for breast meat. Sprinkle with parsley and serve with lemon wedges.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs for best results.
  • Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes: This will help the chicken to absorb the flavors of the marinade and make it more tender.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This will add color, texture, and flavor to your kabobs.
  • Skewer the chicken and vegetables tightly: This will help to keep them from falling off the skewers while cooking.
  • Grill the kabobs over medium heat: This will help to prevent the chicken from burning.
  • Baste the kabobs with marinade or olive oil while cooking: This will help to keep them moist and prevent them from drying out.
  • Serve the kabobs hot off the grill: They are best enjoyed fresh and hot.
