Ingredients:

8 chicken thighs
800g
1 red pepper
80g
1/2 red onion
54g
2 tbsp lemon juice
10g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g
1 tsp paprika
5g
1 tbsp fresh parsley
5g
2 tsp coriander leaves
6g
2 tbsp vinegar
30g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken:
- Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and set aside in a large bowl.
2. Marinate the Chicken:
- 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.
3. Prepare the Vegetables:
- While the chicken is marinating, cut the red pepper and red onion into chunks suitable for skewering.
4. Assemble the Skewers:
- Preheat your BBQ grill to medium-high heat.
- Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers, alternating with chunks of red pepper and red onion.
5. Grill the Skewers:
- 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).
6. Prepare the Green Salsa:
- While the skewers are grilling, make the green salsa.
- In a bowl, combine the finely chopped parsley, coriander leaves, and vinegar. Mix well.
7. Serve:
- 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.
8. Enjoy:
- 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!
