If you’re looking for a quick and flavorful chicken dish, these chicken skewers are a must-try! Juicy chicken thighs get coated in a delicious spice mix with ras el hanout, garlic, onion powder, and a bit of cayenne for a nice kick. It’s super simple to throw together—just marinate the chicken, thread it onto skewers, and cook them up in a pan. You’ll get perfectly tender chicken with a golden crust that’s full of flavor.
Pro tip: Let the chicken marinate for a few hours if you can, and don’t forget to soak those wooden skewers so they don’t burn. You can even switch things up by baking them in the oven. Add a squeeze of lemon or lime at the end, and you’ve got a dish that’s perfect for dinner or as part of a BBQ spread!
Ingrediënten
Let the chicken marinate in the spices for at least 30 minutes, but ideally for a few hours. Cover and store in the fridge while marinating.
Substitute dried parsley with fresh parsley.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent them from burning during cooking.
Cut the chicken into evenly sized cubes.
Ensure the frying pan is hot before adding the chicken. This will give the chicken a nice sear and keep it juicy inside.
Add a squeeze of lemon or lime juice if you like.
Alternatively, you can cook the skewers in the oven. Place them on a baking sheet (don’t forget the parchment paper) and bake at 200°C (390°F) for about 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through. Turn them halfway through.
You can replace chicken thighs with chicken breast.
