Description

Delicious broiled chicken thigh skewers that are quick and easy to prepare, perfect for dinner.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 11/2 teaspoons light brown sugar (lightly packed)
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Position an oven rack 6 inches from the heat element. Preheat broiler to high and let it fully heat up. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or foil.
  2. Trim excess fat off chicken and cut into 1-inch pieces. In a large bowl, combine chicken with seasonings, sugar, and cornstarch. Toss with tongs for even coating.
  3. Drizzle oil over chicken. Toss again to coat evenly.
  4. Thread chicken onto the skewers.
  5. Place skewers, spaced apart, on prepared pan. Broil for 12 minutes or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 160°F and has a golden exterior.
  6. Remove from oven, taste, and add a tiny pinch of salt if needed. Serve immediately.
