Asian Chicken Kabobs Recipe
Do you enjoy entertaining during the Summer months, but find yourself stuck in the kitchen preparing the meal? My Asian Chicken Kabobs Recipe is about to change that with it’s simple, flavorful marinade and fresh ingredients perfect for grilling! I love making simple chicken recipes!
f you’re anything like me, you’ll find yourself with plenty of time to socialize and enjoy yourself at your next barbecue or get together.
Asian Chicken Kabobs Recipe:
The first thing you want to do is to make the Asian marinade for the chicken at least two hours before you plan on grilling. I combine all of my ingredients in a mixing bowl and then pour it into a gallon size ziplock bag. This way I’m sure that all of the bite size pieces of chicken are soaking up the marinade, while they are in the refrigerator.

While the marinade is working it’s flavorful magic you can enjoy your company and even grab a glass of Strawberry Punch. Once you are just about ready to grill, cut up the fresh vegetables and fruit for the skewers. We like to use red bell peppers, onions and pineapple, but feel free to change the vegetables to your favorite or whatever you were able to find at the local farmer’s market.
Would you like to save this?
One tip to keep in mind is that if you are using bamboo skewers, you want to soak them in water for about 30 minutes before you use them. This way they don’t catch on fire on the grill. We use our metal skewers for our Asian Chicken Kabobs and save the bamboo skewers for our Lime Tequila Shrimp Kabobs. There’s just something about shrimp and bamboo skewers that seem to go together.
The great thing about this Asian Chicken Kabobs Recipe is that the marinade works well for other types of meat as well. You could always leap for a different type of kabob altogether as well. My Steak Bites Shish Kabobs are out of this world so be sure to check that out, if you’re looking for a great steak marinade. A great healthy side to have with these kabobs are Roasted Asparagus, which can also be adjusted to be grilled as well.
