Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Bacon Ranch Chicken Skewers Delight.
Step 1
In a spacious glass or ceramic bowl, blend together 1/3 cup of ranch dressing with 1 teaspoon of hot chile paste until the mixture is smooth and well-integrated.
Step 2
Add the chicken cubes, tossing them gently to ensure they are thoroughly coated in the flavorful marinade.
Step 3
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it chill in the refrigerator for 1 to 3 hours, allowing the chicken to absorb all those delicious flavors.
Step 4
When you're ready to grill, preheat your outdoor grill to a medium-high setting and lightly oil the grate to prevent any sticking.
Step 5
Once marinated, take the chicken out of the bowl, shaking off any excess marinade, and place the pieces on a plate lined with paper towels.
Step 6
Pat the chicken cubes dry with additional paper towels and discard the leftover marinade.
Step 7
Grab a bamboo skewer and start by threading a piece of red onion about 1.
Step 8
5 inches down the skewer.
Step 9
At one end, add a strip of bacon, letting the rest dangle down.
Step 10
Next, thread on a cube of chicken, looping the bacon over it to create a charming 'S' shape.
Step 11
Continue this delightful assembly, alternating bacon and chicken until the entire strip of bacon is used, typically incorporating 4 to 5 chicken cubes.
Step 12
Finish off the skewer with another piece of red onion at the end.
Step 13
Repeat this process for all twelve skewers, seasoning them with salt and pepper to enhance the flavors.
Step 14
Place the skewers on the preheated grill, cooking them while turning every 3 to 4 minutes until they are beautifully browned on all sides and the chicken is cooked through, which should take about 12 to 16 minutes.
Step 15
Serve these sizzling skewers hot, accompanied by extra ranch dressing for a perfect dipping experience.
Step 16
Enjoy the burst of flavors and the joy of grilling!.
