Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs (about 4 thighs)
- 1/2 tsp salt, plus a pinch for the vegetables
- 1/2 cup New York Shuk Shawarma BBQ Sauce
- 1 small red onion, peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 red bell pepper, seeded and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- Wooden skewers
Instructions
Marinate the Chicken
- Cut each chicken thigh into 6 equal pieces (about 1½ inches each).
- Place the chicken pieces in a large bowl, season with ½ teaspoon salt, and add the Shawarma BBQ Sauce. Toss to coat evenly. Set aside to marinate.
Prepare the Vegetables
- In a separate bowl, combine the onion and bell pepper. Season with a pinch of salt and toss with olive oil.
Assemble the Skewers
- Thread the chicken and vegetables onto the skewers, alternating ingredients evenly.
Grilling Method
- Prepare a medium-hot grill fire or preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Place the skewers on the grill and cook, turning occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and nicely browned (about 12–15 minutes).
Broiling Method
- Position the oven rack 3–4 inches below the broiler and preheat on high.
- Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place the skewers on it, leaving some space between them.
- Broil, turning once halfway through, until the chicken is fully cooked and slightly charred (about 15 minutes).
