Ingredients
Method
- In a large bowl, whisk together all marinade ingredients. Add chicken pieces and toss until well-coated. Let it sit for at least 20 minutes or refrigerate overnight if meal prepping.
- Make a small "well" in the center of the marinated chicken bowl and place a small heat-proof bowl or a piece of aluminum foil (shaped like a cup) on top of the chicken.
- Using tongs, hold a piece of charcoal over a gas flame until it is red-hot and glowing.
- Place the hot coal into the foil cup.
- Pour 1 teaspoon of ghee or oil directly onto the coal. It will start smoking immediately.
- Quickly cover the bowl with a tight-fitting lid or heavy foil to trap the smoke. Let it sit for 5 minutes.
- Thread the chicken onto four 8-inch metal or soaked wooden skewers. Leave a tiny bit of space between pieces to ensure the air circulates for even browning.
Notes
- To ensure evenly cooked butter chicken skewers, cut chicken pieces uniformly. This helps them cook at the same rate.
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before threading the chicken. This prevents them from burning on the grill.
- Don't overcrowd the skewers; leave a little space between the chicken pieces to allow hot air to circulate, promoting even browning and cooking.
- For food safety, ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
- For storage, cooked butter chicken skewers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave. Nutrition information is an estimate, calculated automatically. Values vary with brands, substitutions and portion sizes.
