Categories     Chicken Thigh & Leg

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 boneless skinless chicken thighs
1 sprig fresh tarragon
1 red chili pepper, deseeded and roughly chopped
2 garlic cloves
salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon tomato paste
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Cut the chicken thighs into chunks - about 1.5in and then set aside.
  • Make the marinade. Strip the leaves from the tarragon and place them in a mortar with the roughly chopped chili. Add the garlic, a generous pinch of salt, a grinding of pepper and pound everything to a paste with a pestle (alternatively use a food processor).
  • Stir in 1 teaspoon of smoked pimenton (this adds a lovely smoky flavour to the marinade). Add the tomato paste, balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Stir thoroughly and pour over the chicken. Leave the chicken to marinate until ready to cook.
  • Preheat the grill. Thread the chicken pieces onto skewers and cook the chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden and cooked through. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use bamboo skewers that have been soaked in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from burning.
  • Cut the chicken into 1-inch pieces so that they cook evenly.
  • Marinate the chicken in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, and salt and pepper for at least 30 minutes before grilling.
  • Grill the chicken skewers over medium heat for 10-12 minutes, turning them occasionally, until they are cooked through.
  • Serve the chicken skewers with your favorite dipping sauce, such as tzatziki sauce or hummus.

Conclusion:

Smoky chicken skewers are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for a summer cookout or party. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that will impress your guests. So fire up the grill and get cooking!
