Chicken has every right to be exciting. The humble bird is often dismissed, considered boring or too quick to dry out when cooked. Well, think again. Chicken is uncomplicated, reliable, and an all-around crowd-pleaser. More important, it loves a good rub or marinade and will obligingly absorb a sauce’s flavors, spices, and aromatics to enhance the best of its simple chicken self.
Which brings me to these skewers. Skewered chicken couldn’t be an easier or tastier method to deliver flavor to the meat. Sure, you can slap a thigh or breast on the grill, but if you cut the meat into bite-size pieces, you will expose even more surface area and edges to the marinade and achieve the coveted goal of roasting and grilling: lots of crispy bits and toasty, charred flavor.
