Why You’ll Love These Skewers

This recipe is built for flavor and simplicity. Using the Blackstone griddle gives the chicken a beautiful char while keeping the inside moist and tender. The garlic-Parmesan marinade adds a deep, savory punch, while the final brush of garlic butter takes these skewers from good to unforgettable.

What makes this dish stand out is the layering of flavors. The marinade alone includes Italian herbs, Blackstone’s Bayou Blend, garlic salt, paprika, and mayo, which helps keep the chicken moist and flavorful. And that final basting of melted butter, fresh garlic, parsley, and crushed red pepper? Pure magic.

Ingredients You’ll Need

For the Chicken & Marinade:

• 4 boneless chicken breasts, cubed
• 15 medium-sized skewers
• 1 tbsp oil
• 1 tsp grated garlic
• 1 tsp garlic salt
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp oregano
• 2 tsp Italian seasoning (Blackstone Tuscan Herb or Tutto Italiano)
• 1.5 tsp Blackstone Bayou Blend (Cajun seasoning)
• 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese
• ¼ cup Dukes Mayo

For the Garlic Butter Glaze:

• 1 stick unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tbsp fresh grated garlic
• ½ tsp garlic salt
• 1.5 tbsp flat-leaf parsley, chopped
• 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese
• Pinch of crushed red pepper

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prep the Chicken: Cube the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Add them to a large mixing bowl.
2. Make the Marinade: Combine oil, grated garlic, garlic salt, paprika, oregano, Italian seasoning, Bayou Blend, Parmesan, and mayo. Mix until smooth and pour over the chicken. Toss until every piece is well coated.
3. Marinate: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, or for best results, overnight.
4. Skewer the Chicken: Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes beforehand to prevent burning.
5. Preheat the Blackstone: Set your griddle to medium or medium-high heat. Add a thin layer of oil to prevent sticking.
6. Grill the Skewers: Cook each skewer for 2–3 minutes per side, rotating to get an even sear on all four sides. The internal temperature should reach 165°F.
7. Make the Garlic Butter: While the chicken cooks, combine the melted butter with grated garlic, garlic salt, parsley, Parmesan, and crushed red pepper.
8. Finish the Skewers: In the last 2 minutes of cooking, generously brush the garlic butter over the skewers. Flip and brush the other side.
9. Serve: Remove from heat and serve immediately. Garnish with extra Parmesan and fresh herbs if desired.

Tips for Success

• Use Thighs for More Juiciness: Chicken thighs tend to stay juicier than breasts, especially on high heat.
• Don’t Overcrowd the Skewers: Leave a little space between each piece so the heat circulates evenly.
• Double the Garlic Butter: This stuff is liquid gold. Make extra for dipping or brushing over grilled veggies.

Variations to Try

• Add Veggies: Thread chunks of red onion, bell pepper, or zucchini between the chicken pieces for a colorful twist.
• Spice It Up: Increase the crushed red pepper in the butter or add hot sauce to the marinade for more heat.
• Make It a Meal: Serve over a bed of rice, alongside a summer salad, or wrapped in flatbread for a delicious sandwich-style meal.
