Creating delicious chicken skewers on a Blackstone griddle is a flavorful and simple process. Here’s a basic recipe for Blackstone Chicken Skewers:
Blackstone Chicken Skewers:
Ingredients:
- 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Wooden or metal skewers
Instructions:
- Prepare the Chicken:
- Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, ensuring they are uniform for even cooking.
- Marinate the Chicken:
- In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, smoked paprika, ground cumin, ground coriander, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
- Coat the Chicken:
- Place the chicken pieces in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are coated evenly. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors infuse.
- Preheat the Blackstone Griddle:
- Preheat your Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat.
- Thread the Chicken onto Skewers:
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes to prevent burning. Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers.
- Cook on the Blackstone Griddle:
- Place the chicken skewers on the preheated griddle. Cook for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice sear.
- Check for Doneness:
- Ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Serve Hot:
- Remove the chicken skewers from the griddle and let them rest for a couple of minutes. Serve them hot.
- Optional Garnish:
- Garnish with chopped fresh herbs, a squeeze of lemon, or your favorite sauce.
These Blackstone chicken skewers are versatile and can be enjoyed as a main dish, served over rice, in wraps, or on a salad. Feel free to customize the marinade with your preferred spices and herbs for added flavor.
