A flavorful and easy-to-make Nigerian-inspired chicken skewer recipe, perfect for grilling or broiling.
Combine the garlic powder, ground ginger, smoked paprika, cayenne powder, and crushed roasted peanuts in a bowl.
Crush the peanuts finely for an even coating on the chicken.
Slice the chicken breast into thin strips.
Cut the chicken into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.
Coat the chicken strips with the spice mix and let them sit for 10 minutes.
Allowing the chicken to rest with the spices enhances the flavor.
Thread the chicken strips onto skewers and brush them with vegetable oil.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes beforehand to prevent burning.
Grill or broil the skewers for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is fully cooked.
Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F for safe consumption.
Serve the skewers hot with your choice of sides.
Garnish with fresh herbs or a squeeze of lime for added flavor.
