Instructions
Creating BBQ Beer-Marinated Chicken Skewers is simple if you follow these easy steps:
1. Prepare Marinade: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the beer, olive oil, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, smoked paprika, onion powder, black pepper, and salt.
2. Marinate Chicken: Add the cubed chicken to the marinade and mix well to ensure all pieces are coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
3. Prepare Vegetables: While the chicken marinates, chop your preferred vegetables into equal-sized pieces for even cooking.
4. Preheat Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat for about 10-15 minutes.
5. Assemble Skewers: Thread marinated chicken and vegetables alternately onto the skewers, fitting them snugly but not overcrowding them.
6. Grill the Skewers: Place skewers on the preheated grill and cook for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
7. Rest: Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute for optimal flavor.
8. Garnish: If desired, garnish with chopped fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley.
