How to Make the Best Grilled Chicken Skewers 

To make the best grilled chicken skewers, start with the right cut—chicken thighs are perfect for juicy, flavorful bites. Marinate the chicken with a balance of savory, sweet, and tangy ingredients to ensure tenderness and depth of flavor. While the marinade works its magic, fire up your grill, aiming for a medium-high heat. Thread the chicken onto skewers, making sure they’re spaced evenly for consistent cooking. The Karbon Steel™ Half-Moon Pan comes in handy here—use it to baste the skewers with your marinade or glaze, enhancing flavor and creating that perfect caramelized finish. Grill over direct heat for a crispy, charred exterior, then move to indirect heat to cook through without drying out. These skewers are all about that balance—smoky, juicy, and full of flavor, making them a crowd-pleaser every time!

The Secret to Perfectly Juicy Chicken Thighs on the Grill

Grilling chicken thighs can be tricky, but with the right techniques, you’ll achieve tender, juicy, and flavorful results every time. Here’s how:

• Choose Bone-In, Skin-On Thighs: The bone helps retain moisture, and the skin adds flavor and crispiness when grilled.
• Marinate for Maximum Flavor: Let your chicken thighs marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight) to infuse them with rich flavors.
  
• Use Two-Zone Cooking: Start by searing the thighs on direct heat to get a crispy skin, then move them to indirect heat to finish cooking through without burning.
• Monitor Internal Temperature: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches 165°F in the thickest part. This ensures the thighs stay juicy and fully cooked.
• Rest Before Serving: Let the chicken thighs rest for a few minutes after grilling to lock in the juices, keeping them tender and flavorful.
