Sometimes I like to buy already marinated products if the marinade is tasty and luxurious, of course. This is the case with these chicken breasts marinated in a whiskey and brown sugar BBQ sauce by Exceldor ! Here I used these breasts to create skewers with vegetables and even pineapple. A simple recipe that is really good!

Preparation

Remove the chicken breasts from their packaging and keep the marinade. Cut the chicken into large cubes and set aside.
Build your skewers! If using wooden skewers, soak in water for 30 minutes before. Poke a pineapple cube followed by a piece of chicken, onion and pepper. Repeat until the skewers are full.
With the rest of the marinade, brush generously your skewers and reserve in the fridge for 1 hour.
Preheat the BBQ to full power and reduce to medium power. Oil the grids with vegetable oil.
Place skewers on fire and cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until chicken is cooked through. Serve immediately!

Kir-Yianni Cuvée Villages Naoussa 2022

Macedonia, Greece

Kir-Yianni Cuvée Villages Naoussa is an aromatic, soft red from Macedonia, Greece, made from xinomavro, and it keeps a nice freshness under its fruit. That freshness stands up to the sweetness of the brown sugar and the grilled pineapple, and the light smokiness of the BBQ and the peppers suits it fine. A red that won't weigh you down, even after a second skewer. See the product

GASPÉSIENNE, PIT CARIBOU, 6.2%

The brown sugar caramelizing on the grill and the chocolate in the malt hit the same note, just darker in the glass. The porter has enough body to stand up to the whisky in the marinade and enough sweetness to let the grilled pineapple come forward. A sweet skewer calls for a sweet malt, not a beer that bites.
