\ud83d\udd25 The perfect fridge accident<\/h3>\n

The origin of these BBQ chicken skewers is a classic Sunday story: I had leftover frozen chicken, I had some of my homemade classic smoky bbq sauce<\/a> left over, and I wanted to make a good skewer recipe without overthinking it. Three ingredients, one marinade, and boom. The best skewer recipe in the entire world was born. Usually, I always go for thighs, but chicken breasts that are well marinated and cooked properly are delicious on another level.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udcaa A marinade that goes on anything<\/h3>\n

This homemade BBQ marinade is so versatile that you’ll put it on everything: on steak, on strip loin cubes, on pork, on lamb. Your imagination is the limit. The pro trick? You make your marinade the night before, skewer your meat, put everything in a ziploc bag and freeze it vacuum-sealed. On the day, you thaw, grill, serve. And if you’re going to a BYO party where everyone brings their meat to skewer, show up with this: magic, magic, you’ll be the hero.<\/p>\n

\ud83c\udfaf The right balance between simple and impressive<\/h3>\n

Compared to my chicken skewers with maple bacon and whisky bbq sauce<\/a> which require more patience, these BBQ chicken skewers with homemade marinade are the accessible classic version: 5 ingredients in the marinade, one night in the fridge, 15 minutes on the BBQ and you have a meal that impresses. It’s exactly the kind of recipe for entertaining friends on Saturday night, for a weekend family dinner, or to bring to a neighborhood party where everyone brings their meat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
