Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Chicken breast
- 2 medium Bell peppers (assorted colors)
- 1 large Red onion
- 240 ml Beer (lager or pale ale)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 10 pieces Wooden skewers
Instructions
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized cubes, about 1.5 inches in size.
Chop the bell peppers and red onion into similarly sized chunks to ensure even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together beer, olive oil, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, cayenne pepper, paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours for more intense flavor.
Thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers, alternating with pieces of bell pepper and red onion for visual appeal and flavor balance.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has a slight char. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 75°C (165°F).
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 2-3 minutes. Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce or side dish.
