Mod de preparare

Pas cu pas

1
In a medium bowl, combine the minced garlic, paprika, olive oil, red wine vinegar, crumbled bay leaf, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Aproximativ 2 min.
2
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and toss to ensure all pieces are evenly coated.
Aproximativ 1 min.
3
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours, to allow the flavors to meld.
Aproximativ 30 min.
Nota bucătarului: For deeper flavor, marinate for a longer period.
4
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
5
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Aproximativ 10 min.
6
Thread the marinated chicken, red bell pepper pieces, and yellow onion pieces alternately onto the skewers.
Aproximativ 5 min.
Nota bucătarului: Do not pack the ingredients too tightly, as this will prevent even cooking.
7
Place the skewers on the preheated grill.
8
Grill for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice char marks.
Aproximativ 15 min.
Nota bucătarului: The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 74°C (165°F).
9
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Aproximativ 2 min.
Nota bucătarului: Resting helps the juices redistribute, keeping the chicken moist.
