Grilled chicken recipes are a family favorite-
As soon as summertime hits, the grill comes out and we use it on a regular basis.
We absolutely love grilling and do it a few times a week. My favorite protein to grill is chicken. Chicken breast whole or as kebabs are always on our menu. They are the easier to marinade and quickest to grill.
Can I substitute for chicken thighs?
Yes, chicken thighs would be a great substitute. The cooking time may be slightly different depending on the size of the thighs.
Chicken kebab marinade-
There are many chickenย kebab marinades. The marinade can really make or break a recipe. I really like adding mayo as part of a marinade, it works as a wonderful meat tenderizer. The added chili sauce, hot sauce and garlic give the marinade a little kick and add so much flavor! You’re going to love the marinade for grilling chicken kebabs.
Chicken with lime-
Once the chicken is grilled, I love taking fresh lime and squeezing it over the kebabs and giving them a quick toss. It’s like the cherry on top of a cake, the perfect touch. Lime and chicken kebabs = perfect combo!
