Ingredients:
Sweet or Spicy w/ AP BBQ
- 10 Boneless & Skinless Chicken Thighs
- Olive Oil as Binder
- 1 Red Bell Pepper, Sliced
- 1 Green Bell Pepper, Sliced
- 1 Yellow Onion, Sliced
- Wood Skewers Soaked in Water
Steps:
- Preheat Smoker/Grill:
- Begin by preheating your smoker or grill to 350°F, using your preferred charcoal and wood chunks; we recommend hickory for a rich flavor infusion.
- Prepare Skewers:
- While your smoker or grill heats up, soak your skewers in water to prevent them from burning during grilling.
- Dice Ingredients:
- Dice your chicken thighs into bite-sized cubes and chop your veggies into roughly one-inch squares.
- Add Olive Oil:
- Drizzle olive oil over the diced chicken and veggies, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Season:
- Season generously with your choice of Holy Smokers Rub Co’s The Rooster Sweet or The Rooster Spicy, complemented by a light layer of HSRCo AP BBQ Rub.
- Assemble Kabobs:
- Carefully thread the seasoned veggies and chicken onto the soaked skewers in an alternating pattern, being mindful not to poke your fingers or hands.
- Grill:
- Once the grill reaches the desired temperature of 350°F, place the skewers on the grill surface. Rotate them every five minutes to ensure even cooking and to prevent burning.
Tip: To ensure safe consumption, use a trusted instant-read thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken. The USDA recommends a minimum internal temperature of 165°F, but for added juiciness aim for 175-180°F.
- Finish Cooking:
- When the chicken reaches your desired internal temperature, typically around 175-180°F, carefully remove the skewers from the grill. Optionally, add a light coating of fresh barbecue sauce for extra flavor.
Serve:
Serve your beautifully grilled chicken kabobs to impress your friends and family with your culinary skills. Enjoy!
