Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and set aside in a large bowl.
- In the bowl with the chicken, add the lemon juice, olive oil, paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. For best results, marinate for 1-2 hours.
- While the chicken is marinating, cut the red pepper and red onion into chunks suitable for skewering.
- Preheat your BBQ grill to medium-high heat.
- Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers, alternating with chunks of red pepper and red onion.
- Place the skewers on the preheated grill.
- Grill for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and has nice grill marks. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (75°C).
- While the skewers are grilling, make the green salsa.
- In a bowl, combine the finely chopped parsley, coriander leaves, and vinegar. Mix well.
- Once the chicken skewers are cooked, transfer them to a serving platter.
- Drizzle the green salsa over the hot skewers or serve it on the side as a dipping sauce.
- Garnish with extra parsley or coriander if desired.
- Serve the BBQ Chicken Skewers with your favorite sides, like a fresh salad, rice, or grilled vegetables.
Tips:
- Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before using them to prevent burning.
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of chili flakes to the marinade.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after grilling to lock in the juices.
These BBQ chicken skewers with green salsa are sure to be a hit at your next gathering. The combination of marinated grilled chicken with a fresh, tangy salsa offers a burst of flavors that everyone will love. Follow these simple tips to ensure your skewers come out perfectly every time. Enjoy!
