Egyptian Summer BBQ Skewers

One of our favourite things for a quick meal is to BBQ some chicken with a Big Cove spice - but sometimes you need to up the game a bit!

These skewers take a bit more time, but look how beautiful and delicious they are! Definitely worth trying out - get the family involved!

We got inspired for this recipe from the cookbook 'Cookish' by Milk Streets Christopher Kimball and adapted it to one of our spice blends. We are thrilled with the results! 

Egyptian Summer spice blend loves the BBQ - add a bit of honey and lemon and you have one stellar combo of flavours that will make everyone happy! The Egyptian Summer's exotic flavour profile has a bit of a heat to it, but the honey and citrus level it out and you can pair it with a refreshing yogurt sauce. (quick recipe for that below!)

Egyptian Summer BBQ Skewers

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp Egyptian Summer spice blend

  • 2 tbsp honey

  • 1 tbsp fresh grated ginger

  • 1/4 cup olive oil

  • 1 lemon, juice and zest

  • 2 lbs chicken thighs, boneless skinless

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the Egyptian Summer spice blend, honey, ginger, olive oil, lemon juice and zest. 

  2. Cut the chicken thighs length wise and toss in the marinade.

  3. Heat the BBQ to about 350.

  4. Using large metal skewers (or large wooden ones that have soaked for about 30 minutes) thread the chicken skewers on the sticks evenly.

  5. Cook the chicken on the BBQ until internal temperature reaches 165 F and you have some delicious charred bits on there.

  6. We loved serving this with a yogurt sauce. 

    To make: mix 1 cup yogurt, 1 grated garlic clove, 1 tbps lemon juice, 1 tbsp olive oil, salt and pepper.
