Chicken Skewer
Method
Chicken Skewer
- 1
Soak wooden skewers in water for 20 minutes to prevent burning.
- 2
Cut chicken breasts into finger-sized strips, about 3-4 inches long.
- 3
In a bowl, whisk buttermilk with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne. Add chicken strips to the marinade, cover, and refrigerate for 2-4 hours.
- 4
Prepare dredging station
In a shallow dish, mix flour with a pinch of salt and pepper. In a separate shallow dish, beat the egg with a splash of water. In a third shallow dish, combine breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, and chopped parsley.
- 5
Remove chicken from marinade; shake off excess. Dredge in flour mixture, dip in egg, then press into breadcrumb-Parmesan mixture to coat evenly.
- 6
Thread 4-5 coated chicken strips onto each skewer, leaving some space between pieces.
- 7
Preheat grill to high heat or oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly oil the grill grates or a baking sheet.
- 8
Brush skewers with a thin coat of oil to help crisp the crust.
- 9
Cook on grill for 6-8 minutes, turning halfway, until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and crust is golden. Alternatively bake for 12-15 minutes, then broil 2-3 minutes for color.

Meanwhile, prepare Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce: in a small bowl whisk mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, honey, and lemon juice until smooth. Season with a pinch of salt if desired.
