Ingredients
- 1/2 cup bourbon
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 4 tbsp fresh mint leaves divided
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 tsp ground allspice
- 1 lemon zested and juiced
- 1 lb chicken breasts diced into small cubes
Instructions
- Add the bourbon, brown sugar, 2 tbsp mint, balsamic vinegar, allspice, lemon zest and lemon juice to a large mixing bowl and whisk to combine.
- Place the chicken in the marinade.
- Place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to marinade.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and place on small or large skewers.
- Grill the skewers over medium heat for 20 minutes, rotating throughout the cooking process.
- Serve large skewers as a meal with fresh chopped mint on top or add fresh mint leaves to smaller skewers to serve as an appetizer.
- You can also remove the chicken from larger skewers, place a mint leaf on each piece of chicken then skewer with a toothpick and serve.
Notes
- If using wooden skewers, large or small, be sure to soak the skewers in water for 30-60 minutes before adding the chicken and grilling.
- To make a sauce to serve with the skewers, reserve the marinade and place it in a small pot on the stove over high heat. Bring to a rapid boil and boil for 1-2 minutes. Allow to cool slightly before serving with the skewers.
