This is a great barbecue dish. These Chicken Skewers can be found served almost every where here in southern Spain and the flavours are fantastic. They most commonly use pork, which I love also, but these are chicken. They are traditionally called Pinchos Morunos in these parts and it would not be a barbecue without them.
What’s great about them is that they use few ingredients and you can use chicken or pork for them. As I stated before, they do traditionally use pork which works fantastic. But I’ve got one child that’s not keen on pork, so I usually stick to chicken to please all the taste buds in the house. The forever story of a mom!
I hope you guys get a chance to try them out and like them like we do. Happy cooking friends and I’ll see you all in a day or two with something delicious!
