Chicken Skewers for Midweek Supper

0 comments  •   2 minute read

Skewers are supper when you do not want to butcher a fillet. Garlic Chicken Skewers - 320-420g is a two-person pack. BBQ and Chinese versions sit next to it in chicken skewers. They are already on sticks. Your job is heat. BBQ chicken is the wider flavoured-grill shelf if you wanted flats as well.

Grill, oven, air fryer

Grill or hot pan, turn every couple of minutes, 10 to 14 minutes total, 75°C in the thickest cube. Oven 220°C on a rack, 14 to 18 minutes. Air fryer 200°C, 10 to 12 minutes, shake once. Sugar in BBQ and Chinese will catch; do not wander off. Garlic is the more forgiving flavour if you are easily distracted.

One 320–420g pack is two with a salad, or one hungry person. Buy two packs rather than stretching one across four people and a lot of bread. Shop ready to cook meat if you want thighs or plate steaks in the same “already seasoned” mood.

Serving

Bread, salad, yoghurt if the skewer is hot. They are finger food that still deserves a plate. Leftovers come off the stick and go into a wrap. Reheat gently. A second blast in the air fryer makes jerky on a stick, which is a different snack.

BBQ night versus Tuesday

On a BBQ, they are a quick extra while steaks rest. On a Tuesday, they are the main. Do not buy a 3kg of wings because you liked a skewer. Different pack, different night.

If the cubes look wet, pat the pack. Then leave them be between turns. Fidgeting rips the marinade off. Hot, 75°C, off. That is a midweek skewer, and it is one of the few ready-flavoured packs that actually feels like a short cook rather than a project.

Label leftovers with the cut and the day. Anonymous tubs are how good meat becomes a mystery you throw away. Reheat once, gently, with a splash of water if it looks dry, and eat it as a second meal rather than a punishment. That is as true of Chicken Skewers for Midweek Supper as of any other pack we send out of the cutting room. Cook it like the cut it is, and it will earn the next click.

Match the pan to the pack: a wide pan for many pieces, a small pan for two steaks. Crowding is the quiet way to steam meat you paid to fry. Give it space, give it a rest, and the cook you meant will show up on the plate. That is as true of Chicken Skewers for Midweek Supper as of any other pack we send out of the cutting room. Cook it like the cut it is, and it will earn the next click.
