Argentine Grilled Chicken Skewers - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
4 chicken breasts or 4 chicken thighs
1/2 red bell pepper, cut into 1 inch squares
1/2 green bell pepper, cut into 1 inch squares
2 yellow onions, cut into eighths
1 cup cherry tomatoes
bamboo skewer
1/2 cup oil
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon paprika (www.worldspice.com has the real stuff)
1/2 teaspoon fresh Mexican oregano
kosher salt
black peppercorns
Preparation
-
Soak the skewers for an hour.
Set charcoal alight.
In your handy mortar grind the Oil, Garlic, Paprika, Oregano, Salt, and Peppercorns.
Skin, debone, and de-fat the chicken.
Cut into 1/2 cubes.
Rinse, pat dry, stir into Marinade.
Coat well.
Thread the Onion, Chicken, Peppers, and Cherry Tomatoes alternately onto the skewers.
Grill over medium coals for 15-20 minutes'til everything is done.
This works well grilled over a hibachi or other small grill on a picnic.
Prepare everything at home and do the grilling at the picnic site.
It's almost as good cooked under the broiler at home.
