When the sun dips below the horizon and the campfire crackles to life, it’s the perfect time to bring out the skewers for a BBQ chicken feast under the stars. This straightforward recipe for campfire BBQ chicken skewers will tantalize your taste buds and become a staple of your outdoor culinary adventures.
Ingredients for Campfire Magic
– 1.5 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
– 1 cup of your favorite BBQ sauce
– 2 bell peppers, any color, cut into 1-inch pieces
– 1 large red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Olive oil or cooking spray
– Metal skewers or wooden skewers (soaked in water for at least 30 minutes)
Assembling and Cooking Your Skewers
Start by seasoning the chicken cubes with salt and pepper. Then, alternately thread the chicken, bell peppers, and red onion onto the skewers. Lightly brush the assembled skewers with olive oil or spray them with cooking spray to prevent sticking. If you’re using a sauce, reserve some for serving and brush the rest onto the skewers.
Position the skewers on the campfire grate, making sure they’re not touching the flames directly to avoid charring. Cook the skewers, turning them every few minutes to ensure they cook evenly. The goal is for the veggies to become beautifully charred and the chicken cooked through, which usually takes 12-15 minutes. In the last few minutes of cooking, generously brush the skewers with additional BBQ sauce to create a rich glaze.
Once the chicken is thoroughly cooked, remove the skewers from the fire and let them rest for a few minutes. This short wait will allow the flavors to meld and ensure the chicken is juicy and tender.
Savoring Your Campfire Creation
As the skewers sizzle beside the glowing embers, prepare your palate for a feast of juicy chicken and veggies coated in a sticky, sweet,, smoky BBQ sauce. Cradle a warm skewer in your hands, the aroma mingling with the fresh, cool air of the wilderness. Moments like these—savoring simple yet delectable food—encapsulate the essence of campfire cooking.
