Grilled Chicken Skewers With Lemon And Honey Food

LEMON HONEY - HONEY LEMON CHICKEN SKEWERS

Steps:

• HINT: To prevent wooden skewers from burning soak first (I put a little oil in the water. I don't know if it helps. but I feel it may help lock in the water a little longer.) fit bacon to chicken strips, and thread onto wooden skewers.
• Combine remaining ingredients.
• Add chicken skewers.
• Marinate overnight. (I used a long plastic dish with lid and gave it a light shake every so often).
• BBQ - on medium, reserving marinade to baste with barbecue 4 to 5 inches from heat for 10 to 15 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink& bacon is crisp.
• (I made this for a big BBQ I used all the chicken and bacon I needed or had, and 2X or 3X the marinade until I was happy).

LEMON CHICKEN SKEWERS

Steps:

• In a bowl whisk together : olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, thyme, salt and pepper. Add the pieces of chicken and toss to coat well. Let marinade for 15 minutes. (You can prepare the pieces of chicken until that step and cover with plastic wrap. They'll be good until 24 hours in the fridge).
• Prepare barbecue to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and put them on 8 metal skewers (or wood skewers but soaked in water), alternate with the pieces of green bell pepper. Put the skewers on a greased grill and cook 12 to 16 minutes or until the chicken is golden and is not pink inside. Turn the chicken skewers occasionnaly.
