Ingredients

Instructions

  • Into a bowl place the sugar, soy sauce, onion, garlic and black pepper and whisk together well.
  • Then to this you add the diced up pork and toss to ensure that all pieces are thoroughly coated in the marinade.
  • Now cover the bowl over and place in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
  • However if you really want the meat to taste even much sweeter then allow the pork to remain in the marinade overnight.
  • Whilst you are preparing the kebabs you should get the barbecue ready.
  • Place the grill at a level so that the heat is very hot and make sure that it has been lightly oiled before you place the kebabs on it.
  • On to each wooden skewer, which has been soaking in water for 30 minutes, you thread on some of the pork.
  • Once all the skewers have pork on them they are ready to cook.
  • Ideally you should cook each side of the kebab for between 3 and 5 minutes or until the center of the meat is no longer pink.
  • As soon as the kebabs have cooked you can serve them up to your guests with such accompaniments as coleslaw, rice or potato salad.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • In a bowl combine together the barbecue sauce, honey, Worcestershire sauce, garlic salt and mustard.
  • This you will then use to baste the pork steaks as they cook.
  • To cook the pork steaks you need to place them on an oiled grill about 4 inches above the heat source.
  • This will provide them with a medium heat to cook and will also ensure that they cook slowly so more of the moisture is retained.
  • You should cook each steak for around 8 minutes on each side before you then cook them for a further five minutes.
  • But the last five minutes is when the pork should be brushed with the sauce.
  • It is important that you turn the steaks over regularly during this last five minutes to ensure that they are both well coated in the sauce and to help it adhere to the surface of them.
  • Once the steaks are cooked place onto clean plates and serve with a crispy green salad and some nice crusty bread.

  • Now you need to prepare the pork.
  • To do this you need to place in a bowl the olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper and mix together thoroughly.

  • Whilst the barbecue is heating up now you are ready to start making the kebabs on to each skewer thread pieces of pork with the mushrooms and sage leaves.
  • Ideally you should thread on one piece of meat and then one mushroom and sage leave and continue doing this until all skewers have these ingredients on them.

Barbecued Chicken Burgers

These barbecued chicken burgers are perfect for a quick and satisfying meal. They are ideal for a last-minute barbecue when you still want something homemade and full of flavor. In addition, the balance between sweet, savory, and slightly smoky flavors makes this dish very popular. As a result, you get a reliable recipe that works for both family dinners and casual gatherings.

First, the base of these burgers is tender chicken breast. This creates a lighter alternative to traditional beef burgers. At the same time, the marinade adds depth and richness. The mix of ketchup, brown sauce, honey, and garlic creates a sticky glaze that coats the meat evenly. During grilling, this glaze caramelizes nicely. Because of this, the chicken develops a slightly crisp exterior while staying juicy inside.

If you enjoy easy barbecue recipes, you might also like this Grilled Chicken Sandwich. It offers a lighter option with the same great grilled flavor. For food safety and proper cooking temperatures, always follow the recommendations from the FDA.

Barbecued Chicken Burgers for Easy Grilling

Next, these bbq chicken burgers are very easy to prepare. By cutting the chicken open like a book, you ensure even cooking. This also helps the marinade cover more surface. As a result, the flavor becomes stronger. Meanwhile, the glaze turns slightly sticky on the grill, which adds a classic barbecue finish.

In addition, you can easily adjust this recipe to your taste. For example, add chili sauce for more heat. Or keep it mild for family meals. The reserved sauce adds extra flavor when serving. Therefore, each bite becomes richer and more satisfying. These grilled chicken burgers are perfect for adding your own twist with toppings.

Finally, these barbecued chicken burgers are perfect for busy evenings or relaxed weekends. They are quick, simple, and full of flavor. Once you try these burgers, they will likely become a regular in your barbecue routine.

Notes & Wine Advice

For extra flavor, you can marinate the chicken longer if time allows. Adding smoked paprika or a pinch of cayenne can deepen the barbecue profile. Make sure the chicken is fully cooked before serving for the best texture and safety.

Wine Advice

A fruity red wine like Zinfandel pairs beautifully with the sweet and smoky glaze of these burgers. If you prefer something lighter, a chilled rosé complements the freshness of the toppings and balances the richness of the chicken.

Chicken & Chorizo Kebabs With Chimichurri

Chicken chorizo kebabs combine juicy grilled chicken, smoky chorizo sausage, and vibrant chimichurri sauce into a bold barbecue recipe packed with smoky and spicy flavor. The chicken stays tender while the chorizo releases rich paprika-infused oils onto the skewers during grilling. Every bite delivers smoky meat, light spice, and fresh herb flavor.

This kebab recipe remains popular because it combines simple ingredients with strong barbecue flavor and fast cooking. Chorizo adds rich smoky depth while the chimichurri sauce brings freshness, garlic, herbs, and tangy vinegar that perfectly balance the grilled meat.

Why chicken chorizo kebabs work perfectly on the grill

The popularity of chicken chorizo kebabs continues to grow because chicken and chorizo cook beautifully together over high heat. The sausage helps flavor the chicken naturally while the grill creates lightly charred edges and smoky barbecue character around the skewers.

Another reason these kebabs work so well is the contrast between smoky richness and fresh herb flavor. The chimichurri sauce cuts through the richness of the chorizo while adding freshness and gentle spice.

Fresh chimichurri adds brightness and spice

The chimichurri sauce gives these chicken chorizo kebabs their signature freshness and bold herb flavor. Parsley, garlic, oregano, smoked paprika, chili, olive oil, and red wine vinegar combine into a vibrant sauce that pairs perfectly with grilled meat.

If you enjoy smoky grilled skewers, you may also like our BBQ Suya Goat Kebabs, another flavorful barbecue skewer recipe packed with bold grilled flavor.

Texture plays an important role in this recipe. The chicken remains juicy while the chorizo becomes slightly crisp around the edges during grilling. The chimichurri sauce also adds fresh contrast against the smoky meat.

Turning the skewers regularly while cooking helps prevent burning and creates even caramelization around both the chicken and sausage pieces. Light brushing with olive oil also helps preserve moisture during grilling.

Perfect kebabs for outdoor grilling and summer parties

These chicken chorizo kebabs work perfectly for summer cookouts, casual outdoor dinners, and barbecue parties because they cook quickly while still delivering deep smoky flavor. The skewers also look colorful and impressive when served on a large platter.

The kebabs pair wonderfully with rice, salads, grilled vegetables, roasted potatoes, flatbreads, or corn on the cob. Extra chimichurri served on the side also adds additional freshness and flavor.

Proper food handling remains important whenever preparing poultry and grilled meat dishes. Chicken should always be cooked fully and handled carefully during preparation and grilling. For additional poultry preparation and grilling safety guidance, visit the FDA.

Ultimately, chicken chorizo kebabs deliver smoky grilled flavor, juicy chicken, spicy sausage, and fresh chimichurri richness in a vibrant recipe perfect for outdoor grilling and summer barbecues.
