Instructions
Creating delicious Jalapeno Peach Chicken Skewers is straightforward when you follow these steps:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and toss until they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes for maximum flavor.
3. Prepare the Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 15-30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
4. Assemble the Skewers: Thread the marinated chicken, peach wedges, and jalapeno slices onto the skewers, alternating between ingredients.
5. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat.
6. Grill the Skewers: Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
7. Check for Doneness: Ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C).
8. Remove and Rest: Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Following these simple steps will ensure your Jalapeno Peach Chicken Skewers are bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection!
