Keto Chicken Inasal Skewers with Annatto Oil

Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs Chicken thighs
• 1/4 cup Achiote oil (Annatto oil)
• 2 tbsp Ginger
• 4 cloves Garlic
• 2 stalks Lemongrass
• 2 tbsp Lime juice
• 1/2 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tsp Salt

Instructions

1. 1Cut the 1.5 lbs chicken thighs into 1-inch cubes.
2. 2In a medium bowl, combine the chicken cubes, 1/4 cup achiote oil, 2 tbsp ginger, 4 cloves garlic, 2 stalks lemongrass, 2 tbsp lime juice, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp salt. Stir everything together until the chicken is evenly coated. Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature.
3. 3Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers. If using wooden skewers, make sure they have been soaked in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
4. 4Preheat your grill to medium heat. This is typically around 375°F to 400°F (190°C to 205°C).
5. 5Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Grill for 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).
6. 6Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, making the chicken more tender.
