Chipotle Chicken

It’s officially fall and that means one thing! Tailgating and football season is upon us, which also means we need all the recipes to do this season correctly. That’s why I’m sharing these Chipotle Chicken Skewers with you today!

For some reason eating food off a stick is always better than with your fork, am I right?

Plus, I love the fact chicken skewers are easy enough for a quick weeknight meal, yet fancy enough to make them when you are entertaining. A quick tip for making them while you entertain is to prepare the skewers a hour before your guests arrive, place on a plate, cover with plastic wrap and stick back in the fridge until you are ready to grill them.

That way when you guests arrive they are ready to grill which only takes about 20 minutes!

We love serving grilled potatoes or cheese garlic bread with our skewers!

Chicken Skewers

The Chipotle Chicken gets it’s kick from a quick marinade with only three ingredients including El Yucateco Chipotle Hot Sauce. It’s easy to control the level of heat in the marinade.

If you like a lot of heat include the full two tablespoons of Chipotle Hot Sauce, but if you like a little less heat then cut it down to 1 Tbsp of Chipotle hot sauce!

How to prepare chicken skewers in the oven

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Assemble the chicken skewers just like you are going to prepare them on the grill. Instead of placing them on the grill place them on a baking sheet.

Bake for 10 minutes, turn over once and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes or until internal temperature of chicken is 165 degrees and juices run clear.

How to prepare chicken skewers on the stove

Assemble the chicken skewers just like you are going to prepare them on the grill.

Heat 2 Tbsp of olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add half of hte chicken skewers and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side or until light gold and internal temperature of chicken is 165 degrees and juice run clear.

Let’s talk football for a second. Are you a true one team fan or will you cheer for whoever you want?

I really don’t care who’s playing. My sister-in-law and I always cheer for the team with the “pretty outfits” and we tell our husband’s that just to get them going!

Let’s get real, I really only make a big deal out of it because I want to enjoy all the football food! We are “homegaters”, meaning we tailgate from home, but it’s still fun to round up the friends and have a little party.

They especially love when I make these Chiptole Chicken Skewers!
