MARINATED CHICKEN KABOBS

This great summer recipe was given to me by a friend years ago. You can put any vegetables you want on the skewers. Don't be worried when you see the light corn syrup in the ingredients, it comes together great! It's a great change. You can even skip the vegetables and just skewer the chicken. Enjoy!

Time 2h35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup vegetable oil
½ cup soy sauce
½ cup light corn syrup
¼ cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
½ teaspoon garlic powder
garlic salt to taste
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces

2 onions, quartered

  • In a medium bowl, blend vegetable oil, soy sauce, light corn syrup, lemon juice, sesame seeds, garlic powder, and garlic salt. Place chicken in the mixture. Cover, and marinate in the refrigerator at least 2 hours.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients, especially the chicken and the marinade. Fresh, juicy chicken will cook up more flavorful and tender, and a well-balanced marinade will add depth of flavor and keep the chicken moist.
  • Make sure to marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than 24 hours. This will give the marinade time to penetrate the chicken and infuse it with flavor.
  • If you're using wooden skewers, be sure to soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling. This will help prevent them from burning.
  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat before cooking the kabobs. This will help to sear the chicken and prevent it from sticking to the grates.
  • Cook the kabobs for about 10-12 minutes, turning them occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Serve the kabobs hot off the grill, with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Cilantro Lemon Marinated Chicken Kabobs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for summer grilling. The zesty marinade gives the chicken a bright and flavorful taste, and the kabobs are sure to be a hit at your next party or cookout. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give these kabobs a try. You won't be disappointed!
