Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs (680g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into 1.5” chunks
  • 1 large red onion, cut into 1.5” pieces
  • 2 tbsp Savory Desert Dust seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley, for garnish
  • Skewers (metal or soaked wooden)

Directions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, mix 2 tbsp Savory Desert Dust, 2 tbsp olive oil, juice of 1 lemon, 1 tsp kosher salt and ½ tsp black pepper. Add chicken and toss thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Assemble the Skewers: Thread chicken and red onion pieces onto skewers, alternating for color and flavor.
  3. Preheat the Grill: Heat your BBQ to medium-high. Clean and oil the grates.
  4. Grill the Skewers: Grill for 12–15 minutes, turning every 2–3 minutes, until chicken is charred in spots and cooked through (internal temp 165°F / 74°C).
  5. Serve: Remove skewers from grill. Sprinkle a pinch of extra Desert Dust for a final hit of flavor. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley and serve hot.
