BBQ Chicken Skewers

Cut the chicken breast halves into 1½-inch cubes and place in a large bowl. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the fresh lime juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground red chili pepper, crushed oregano, garlic powder, and salt.

Stir the canola oil, minced jalapeno chile, and beer into the spice mixture until well combined. Pour the marinade over the chicken cubes and toss to coat evenly.

Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse. While marinating, soak wooden skewers in water to prevent burning.

Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the soaked skewers, leaving a small gap between pieces for even cooking. Reserve any remaining marinade for basting.

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F, and lightly oil the grill grates. Arrange the skewers on the grill in a single layer.

Grill the chicken skewers for 12–15 minutes, turning every 3–4 minutes and basting with the reserved marinade, until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

Remove the skewers from the grill and let rest for 2 minutes before serving. Transfer to a serving platter and serve hot.
