Preparation

How to prepare Spicy Chicken Skewers

To prepare the spicy chicken skewers, start by handling the meat. Take the chicken breast 1 and cut it first into strips and then into cubes of about 1 inch each side 2. Transfer them into a bowl and add the oil 3.

Salt, pepper 4, and add the spices: first the cayenne pepper 5 and then the paprika 6.

Lastly, add the honey 7, the crushed garlic 8, and mix it all together 9. At this point, cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

After this time, take the steel (or wooden) skewers and stack the pieces of meat 10, leaving space between the various cubes. Once all the skewers are formed 11, place them on a hot, slightly greased grill 12,

and sprinkle them with sesame seeds 13. Wait 3-4 minutes until they are well charred and slightly caramelized. Then turn them 14, finish cooking for another 2-3 minutes, and serve your spicy chicken skewers 15.

How to store

Store the cooked spicy chicken skewers in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. Freezing is not recommended.

Tips

Flavor your skewers with other spices like thyme or rosemary and add some orange or lemon juice to the marinade!

If you need to replace cayenne pepper, we suggest using only paprika or a dried sweet chili pepper.
