Chicken Kabob Marinade
We love making kabobs because you can prepare them in advance and throw them on the grill when you are ready. These Grilled Chicken Kabobs have a spicy marinade that is easy to make. The chicken kabob marinade is largely made from ingredients you'll likely have on-hand, and the kabobs can marinate for as little as an hour or up to 8 hours. The onion and red, yellow, and green bell peppers add great color and flavor to the kabobs.
If you are using wooden skewers make sure you soak them in water 20 minutes before putting them on the grill.
The chicken kabobs cook up in no time and are perfect for summer BBQ's. They are fun to serve and fun to eat! Feel free to mix up to add other vegetables if you have them on hand. Mushrooms, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes would be a great addition.
To eat, remove the chicken and veggies from the skewer and enjoy! You are going to love these easy chicken kabobs. They will be a summer favorite!
