Campfire Bourbon Chicken Skewers

Campfire Bourbon Chicken Skewers are a delightful dish perfect for outdoor gatherings or camping trips. Here’s a simple recipe to create these flavorful skewers:

Ingredients:

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into chunks
• 1/4 cup bourbon
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Wooden skewers, soaked in water for at least 30 minutes

Instructions:

1. Prepare the marinade: In a bowl, combine bourbon, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well until the sugar is dissolved.
2. Marinate the chicken: Place the chicken chunks in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
3. Preheat the grill or campfire: If using a grill, preheat it to medium-high heat. If cooking over a campfire, ensure you have hot coals ready.
4. Assemble the skewers: Thread the marinated chicken chunks onto the soaked wooden skewers, leaving a little space between each piece to ensure even cooking.
5. Grill the skewers: Place the skewers on the preheated grill or over the campfire. Cook for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice charred exterior.
6. Baste with marinade (optional): While grilling, you can brush the skewers with the remaining marinade for extra flavor. Be sure to discard any leftover marinade that has come into contact with raw chicken.
7. Serve hot: Once the chicken is cooked through and has a nice caramelized exterior, remove the skewers from the grill or campfire. Serve hot with your favorite side dishes, such as rice, grilled vegetables, or a fresh salad.

These Campfire Bourbon Chicken Skewers are best enjoyed hot off the grill or straight from the campfire. The smoky flavors from the grill and the sweet bourbon marinade make them a crowd-pleaser at any outdoor gathering
