Grilling Sensation

Introducing our latest grilling sensation: Garlic Parmesan Chicken Skewers! This recipe takes tender, juicy boneless chicken thighs and transforms them into flavorful, bite-sized pieces of perfection.

Homemade Marinade

The magic begins with a homemade marinade featuring a symphony of flavors – honey, garlic, parmesan cheese, lemon juice, olive oil, and a blend of spices. After a luxurious soak, the chicken is carefully threaded onto skewers and grilled over indirect heat.

Instructions

5. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes  (up to several hours)
6. Remove skewers from water
7. Place chicken on skewers
8. Grill over indirect heat with the lid closed for 20-25 minutes or until internal temp of 160, turning every 5 minutes

10. Brush butter onto chicken a few minutes before removing from the grill
11. Allow chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving

Here’s a helpful kitchen tip:

Spray your measuring spoon with a little oil before measuring the honey to prevent it from sticking. If you’re using wooden skewers, be sure to soak them in water for at least 30 minutes beforehand to prevent burning on the grill.

Important Steps

To ensure maximum flavor infusion, we recommend keeping the grill lid closed during cooking, allowing the chicken to bask in the heat and absorb all those delicious flavors.

But the goodness doesn’t stop there! Once cooked, the skewers are brushed with a delectable buttery topping infused with more honey, garlic, and parmesan cheese. The result? A mouthwatering dish that’s perfect for backyard gatherings, where guests can enjoy these savory delights right off the stick.
