Ingredients

  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into chunks
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tbsp white vinegar
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp adobo seasoning
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp ketchup
  • Wooden skewers, soaked in water
  • Optional: BBQ sauce for basting

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, vinegar, garlic, adobo seasoning, paprika, oregano, black pepper, salt, soy sauce, and ketchup.
  2. Add the chicken pieces and toss to coat evenly. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours (overnight for best flavor).
  3. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
  4. Thread marinated chicken pieces onto soaked skewers.
  5. Grill for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until chicken is fully cooked and slightly charred.
  6. Optional: Baste with BBQ sauce during the last few minutes for an extra smoky glaze.
  7. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

For the best flavor, marinate the chicken overnight. Serve with a side of rice, plantains, or a fresh salad.
