Grilled Spicy Dutch Mustard Chicken Skewers

Introduction

These Grilled Spicy Dutch Mustard Chicken Skewers are packed with bold flavors and seared to perfection on the Arteflame grill. The high-temperature sear on the center grill grate locks in the juices, while the flat cooktop ensures an even cook with a perfect char. This method enhances the smoky flavors of the marinade and guarantees juicy, tender skewers every time.

Ingredients

• 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into cubes
• 1/4 cup Dutch mustard
• 2 tbsp honey
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tbsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp cayenne pepper
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 3 tbsp melted butter
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• Wooden or metal skewers

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Grill

1. Pour some vegetable oil on three paper napkins and place them in the Arteflame grill.
2. Stack firewood over the oiled napkins and light the paper.
3. Allow the grill to heat up for about 20 minutes until the center grill grate reaches 1,000°F.

Step 2: Marinate the Chicken

1. In a bowl, combine Dutch mustard, honey, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic, apple cider vinegar, melted butter, salt, and black pepper.
2. Add the cubed chicken and toss until fully coated.
3. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight for deeper flavor).

Step 3: Skewer the Chicken

1. Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers.
2. Ensure even spacing for consistent cooking.

Step 4: Sear and Cook

1. Place the skewers on the center grill grate of the Arteflame grill to sear for about 1-2 minutes per side.
2. Once a deep, flavorful crust has formed, move the skewers onto the flat cooktop to finish cooking.
3. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.

Step 5: Rest and Serve

1. Remove the skewers from the grill when they reach 160°F (they will continue cooking off the heat).
2. Let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
3. Enjoy with your favorite grilled sides!

Tips

• Use wooden skewers soaked in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
• For extra flavor, baste the skewers with melted butter while cooking.
• The Arteflame’s flat cooktop ensures even cooking, so adjust placement based on heat intensity.
