Grilled Spiral Chicken Skewers Recipes

GRILLED SPIRAL CHICKEN SKEWERS

Steps:

• Place chicken breasts between 2 sheets of heavy plastic on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a 1/4-inch thickness. Remove top sheet of plastic. Cut each chicken breast into strips. Roll up and thread on a skewer.
• Combine parsley, Dijon mustard, Parmesan cheese, basil, and garlic in a small bowl. Spread mixture over skewered chicken.
• Place chicken skewers on a baking sheet and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until flavors combine, at least 2 hours.
• Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
• Uncover skewers and broil in the preheated oven, turning once halfway through, until chicken is no longer pink and tender, 10 to 15 minutes.

GRILLED CHICKEN SKEWERS

Steps:

• Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium heat.
• To make the peanut sauce, put the peanut butter in a blender with the soy sauce, honey, ginger, red pepper flakes, chili oil and lime juice. Add 1/4 cup very hot water as you blend the mixture. Check the consistency and add a little more hot water if needed to make it very smooth. Transfer the sauce to a small dish, cover it with plastic wrap and set aside.
• Brush the grill with oil. Thread the chicken onto the skewers and grill on both sides until the chicken is done in the middle, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove to a serving platter and sprinkle on the cilantro.
• Serve the skewers with dishes of the peanut sauce and a good-quality barbecue sauce for dipping.

GRILLED CHICKEN SKEWERS

Steps:

• Start a gas or charcoal grill (or preheat the broiler); the fire should be moderately hot. If you're using wooden skewers, soak them in water to cover while you prepare the food. Using 8 skewers, alternate the ingredients, but generally, surround both chicken and sausage with the moister lemon and eggplant. Pack the food fairly tightly together on each skewer, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. If you're not using rosemary skewers, tuck some rosemary among the chicken and vegetables.
• Grill over moderate heat, covered or not, turning the skewers 3 or 4 times to brown evenly. Total cooking time will be 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the heat of the grill and the distance from the heat source. When the chicken and sausage are browned, the eggplant will be tender; do not overcook.
• Serve, squeezing hot lemon juice over all.
