Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, minced chipotle peppers, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and toss to coat. Let marinate for at least 10 minutes (or up to 30 minutes in the refrigerator).
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
- Thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Grill the skewers for 4-6 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of smoked paprika to the marinade.
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauce, such as a cilantro-lime crema or a spicy aioli.
- These skewers are also delicious served over rice or in tacos.
