Pinchos de Pollo (Puerto Rican Chicken Skewers)

These are one of my favorite street foods from home. The chicken marinades in a mixture of adobo, sazón, garlic, vinegar, & olive oil. It’s then lightly brushed with a sweet bbq sauce and grilled to perfection.

ingredients

  • 2 lbs chicken thighs
  • 2 tablespoons Pompeian Robust Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Adobo
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 envelope sazón
  • 1 tablespoon oregano
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1/2 cup barbecue sauce

instructions

  1. Cut chicken thighs into 1-inch dice. Combine chicken, olive oil, adobo, salt, sazón, oregano, white vinegar, and crumbled bay leaves in a large resealable bag. Seal the bag and mix the chicken until well combined. Refrigerate for 1 hour or overnight.
  2. Soak bamboo skewers in water for 30 minutes. Thread chicken on to skewers making sure not to pack the chicken too tightly. Brush the skewers lightly with barbecue sauce.
  3. Heat grill to on high to 500 degrees. Lightly oil the grill grate to help the skewers from sticking. Place the skewers on the grill and sear on each side for 3 minutes. Brush the chicken skewers again with barbecue on both sides. Lower the heat to medium, about 400 degrees, and grill for 4 minutes. Serve.
