BBQ Chicken Skewers

I loved these BBQ Chicken Skewers.  The sauce made them taste like I grilled them outside rather than sticking them under the broiler.

Sauce:
1/2 Cup of Ketchup
2 Tbsp. of Honey
1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
2 dashes or so of Liquid Smoke (Hickory)

Brush over raw chicken that you've skewed onto pre-soaked skewers.  This amount of sauce covered 3 chicken breasts worth. I broiled mine for 10-12 Minutes.  So good!
I think I'll make some for lunch.
Hope everyone is doing well.

Homemade Breadcrumbs

 Ingredients:
1 Loaf of Day old bread or remnants. I used a leftover half loaf that I put in the freezer and just brought out for this.  No waste here!
2 tablespoons dried oregano or thyme
2 tablespoons dried basil or parsley
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons salt, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon pepper, or to taste

Directions: 

Preheat your oven to 300 degrees F.

Cut the bread into cubes, and process the cubes in a food processor to make coarse crumbs.

Spread the crumbs on a baking sheet – use two baking sheets if necessary – and dry the coarse crumbs in the oven for about 10 to 15 minutes, stirring halfway through the baking time.

Let the crumbs cool completely and return them to the food processor, add the seasonings, and pulse until the crumbs are well-mixed with the seasoning.

Make sure seasoned bread crumbs are dry and cool before storing in an airtight container.  You can also store them in the fridge.They will last for up to 6 months!

Now you can bread anything you wish; vegetables, poultry, or fish. 

With the prices of food going up, as is everything else, this is a great way to save a little dough...get it? Oh well. It's too early in the morning.

Bourbon Chicken

Ingredients:
  • 1 1/2 pounds chicken breast
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 cup light soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons red rice vinegar or red wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons good bourbon whiskey
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar, or to taste (up to 4 tablespoons if desired)
  • 1 green onion, washed and cut into thirds
  • 2 slices ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
Directions: 
Place the chicken in a shallow 9 X 13-inch baking dish. Combine the remaining ingredients and pour over the chicken. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. Turn the chicken occasionally to make sure they are entirely coated in the marinade.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees . Bake the chicken, uncovered, with the marinade, for 25-35 minutes, basting occasionally.

Dice the chicken and serve over hot rice or noodles. And some sliced green onion. Serve hot.
