LEMON ROSEMARY CHICKEN SKEWERS - GREAT FOR A PARTY OR BUFFET



Lemon Rosemary Chicken Skewers - Great for a Party or Buffet image

Originally from Bon Appetit Dec. 2000. Great for a party or buffet - easy to serve. I cut the chicken up into bite sized pieces so that people could simply pull the chicken off with a fork and didn't need to cut it. I served the chicken skewers on a platter with the marinade simply drizzled all over. (Would also recommend making w/out skewers and simply marinating chicken.)

PARTY CHICKEN SKEWERS

This also works well using turkey strips, plan ahead the chicken needs to marinate for 8 hours --- these may be grilled or oven-broiled, they make a great appetizer for a party --- you can make these well in advance and refrigerate, just make certain that the chicken skewers are kept in sealed plastic bags so the wooden skewers will not dry out and make certain to soak the skewers in water for at least 30 minutes, 1 or more hours if you are planning to prepare ahead and refrigerate, this will prevent the skewers from burning while cooking --- servings is only estimated it will depend on how many strips you thread onto each skewer :)
