Smoky Chicken Kebabs on Electric Grill
Chicken kebabs are a delightful dish that combines the tenderness of marinated chicken with the smoky flavor imparted during grilling. This recipe is perfect for those who enjoy a touch of smokiness in their BBQ meals without using a traditional smoker. The Ninja Woodfire OG701 is an excellent choice here, providing reliable grilling performance at a reasonable price point. Start by marinating the chicken cubes in a mixture of olive oil, soy sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. The marinade should infuse the chicken with flavors while the smoked paprika enhances the kebab's smoky profile. Allow the chicken to soak in these flavors for at least 30 minutes, or longer if time permits. Preheat the grill to 400F, then thread the chicken, bell peppers, and onions onto skewers. Grilling should be done over medium heat, turning the skewers occasionally to ensure even cooking. The end result is a tender and juicy kebab with a slightly smoky aroma, making it a hit for any summer BBQ or family gathering.
