Ingredients List
Notes on Ingredients
- Chicken Thighs– I utilize chicken thighs in this recipe because they typically have more flavor and are not as dry. However, you can also use chicken breast.
- Mayonnaise- This will marinate the chicken, imparting it with moisture.
- Salt– For supplementary flavor.
- Montreal Chicken Spices– This blend of onion, garlic, parsley, red pepper, salt, and more will provide your Coated Chicken Skewers with exceptional flavor.
- Garlic– This potent ingredient infuses into the chicken while it marinates.
- Parmesan– This adds a nutty, cheesy taste to the breading.
- Bread Crumbs– These will be used to coat the chicken.
- Oil- For frying. Use an oil with high smoke point.
Add-ins and Replacements
- Make them sweet and spicy- Marinate the chicken with honey and Sriracha for a sweet and spicy combination.
- Omit the breading- If you prefer to make this slightly healthier, skip the breading and savor the seasoned, juicy chicken on its own.
- Give it an Asian twist- Create the marinade with soy sauce, sesame oil, and hoisin sauce for abundant umami flavor. Incorporate some green onion as well.
- Utilize a different seasoning- Apply your favorite seasoning mixture, or simply sprinkle in some garlic, cayenne pepper, onion powder, smoked paprika, or cumin for the flavoring of your preference.
How to Prepare Coated Chicken Skewers
- Divide the chicken. Cut the chicken thighs into 1-2 inch pieces.
- Marinate. In a bowl, blend chicken, mayonnaise, salt, Montreal chicken spices, and crushed garlic. Allow the chicken to marinate (covered) in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or even overnight.
- Skewer the chicken. Position the chicken onto the skewers.
- Bread the chicken skewers.
- Sear the chicken. Pour about 1 inch of oil into a deep skillet. Raise the temperature of the oil over medium-high heat and brown each side of the chicken skewers.
- Bake them. Position the browned chicken on a baking sheet lined with foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit to complete cooking.
Pro Tip: Conclude the chicken in the oven to ensure that it is thoroughly cooked and all the chicken pieces are equally warm before serving.
Recipe Pointers
- Don’t cut the chicken too large- You want the pieces to be bite-sized, so don’t cut them larger than 1-2 inches. This way they cook thoroughly.
- Marinate for at least 4 hours- This marinating time is crucial as it imparts the chicken with moisture and flavor. You can even allow it to marinate overnight.
- Prepare the skewers in batches-You cannot squeeze all the chicken brochettes into the pan to fry at once, so cook them in batches.
- Opt for a high smoke point oil- It is recommended to use an oil with a high smoke point, like canola or peanut oil, to prevent it from burning and producing smoke in your kitchen.
Frequently Asked Questions
To prevent overcooking your chicken brochettes, make sure not to pack them too tightly or too loosely on the skewers. If they are crowded, the meat will take longer to cook. If they are spaced out too much, they might overcook. Skewer the chicken so that it touches but is not compressed together.
Soaking bamboo skewers in warm water for 10-30 minutes before adding the meat helps prevent them from burning while the meat is cooking. This step is particularly useful if you plan to cook the brochettes on the grill.
Ideas for Serving

- Marinate for at least 4 hours- The marinating time is crucial as it imparts moisture and flavor to the chicken. You can even marinate it overnight.
- Cook the brochettes in batches- Since you can’t fit all the chicken brochettes in the skillet to fry at once, cook them in batches.
