01 May JUST WHAT THE KOSHER ORDERED: SPECIAL LAG BA’OMER RECIPE! GRILLED HONEY CHICKEN KABOB
Lag Ba’omer is a day of celebration on the 33rd day of the
Omer a time period of mourning between Pesach and
Shavuot. It is typically celebrated with outdoor casual
activities and BBQ. Here are a few family favorite BBQ
recipes that are easy to prepare and delicious to eat.
INGREDIENTS:
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/3 cup honey
1/3 cup soy sauce
salt and pepper to taste
2 pounds of skinless, boneless chicken
breast cut into 1 inch cubes
1 tablespoon freshly minced garlic
2-3 yellow onions, cut into,
approximately, 2 inch pieces
1 red bell pepper, cut into,
approximately, 2 inch pieces
1 (16 ounce) container fresh white
mushrooms, whole, cleaned
1 pineapple, cored and cut into cubes
Skewers
DIRECTIONS:
In a large bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup vegetable oil,
1/3 cup honey, 1/3 cup soy sauce, and salt & pepper
to taste. Reserve about a 1/3 cup of the marinade for
basting. Season the chicken cubes with salt and
pepper and place in the marinade with 1 tablespoon
minced garlic, onions, red peppers, and whole
mushrooms. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Remember if you are using wooden skewers to soak
them in water overnight as well. When ready to cook, oil the grill grates and pre-heat
the grill to mid-high heat. While the grill is heating, drain the marinade from the chicken
and vegetables. Discard marinade. Assemble the kabobs by skewering chicken,
pineapple, mushroom, red pepper, onion, and another piece of chicken onto each
skewer until you’ve used up all the ingredients. Carefully spray the grill grate with
cooking spray and place the skewers on the grill. Close the lid and allow them to cook
for 4 to 5 minutes without moving them. After 5 minutes, carefully turn each skewer
over (I use tongs to do this). Close the lid and cook another 4 to 5 minutes, brushing
with the reserved marinade for that last minute. Cook until the chicken juices run clear
and the chicken is no longer pink inside. If the skewers stick to the grate that could
mean the heat is too low or they just need a little more time to cook. When they are
ready to turn, they should release with little sticking. Serve and enjoy!
