| Chicken Kebabs |
So you're going on vacation with friends out of town for the weekend. You plan to cook there. Nothing complicated but great tasting food would be nice. Maybe something that goes really well with beer, would fill the room with appetizing aroma and mouthwatering sizzle while it's cooking, and would inspire praises from your friends after the first bite.My answer? Kebabs!
You can have everything pre-marinated the night before. Stuff the marinated meat in the freezer so that when you leave the next day, it'll be nicely thawed and ready to hit the grill when you get to your destination. Lovely with garlic cream sauce (Thanks, RJ, for the recipe!) or, if you want to be extra healthy, yogurt garlic sauce (classic!).

Prepare the marinade by combining last 8 ingredients in a large bowl. Add in the chicken and make sure to coat well with marinade. Press down plastic wrap on the chicken to make sure even the top is covered with marinade. Keep overnight in the refrigerator.Grill marinated chicken over a stove top cast iron grill until well done.
