Instructions
Making BBQ Beer-Marinated Chicken Skewers is simple and enjoyable when you follow these steps:
1. Prepare Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together the beer, soy sauce, olive oil, honey, minced garlic, smoked paprika, black pepper, salt, onion powder, and cumin until well combined.
2. Marinate Chicken: Place the cubed chicken breast in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.
3. Prepare Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
4. Preheat Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring it’s well-oiled to prevent sticking.
5. Skewer Chicken and Veggies: Once marinated, thread the chicken and veggies alternately onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
6. Grill Skewers: Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
7. Check Doneness: Ensure the chicken’s internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Adjust cooking time as necessary depending on skewer thickness.
8. Remove from Grill: Once done, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
9. Serve Hot: Serve these delicious BBQ Beer-Marinated Chicken Skewers with your favorite dipping sauces or sides.
