Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1½ lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 1½ tsp smoked paprika, divided
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ cup ketchup
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

Method
 

  1. Whisk together ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire, and ½ tsp smoked paprika. Set aside half for basting.
  2. Cut chicken into 1½-inch chunks. Toss with oil, salt, pepper, remaining 1 tsp smoked paprika, and garlic powder. Thread onto skewers.
  3. Grill over medium-high heat (about 400°F) for 5 minutes, then flip and cook 5-6 minutes more, until 165°F.
  4. Brush reserved sauce on skewers during the last minute, letting it caramelize. Serve immediately.

Notes

If your sauce seems too thick, thin it with a teaspoon of water. The skewers are best hot off the grill, but they’ll still taste great at room temperature. Let any leftovers cool completely before refrigerating.
