Utensils Needed:
- Small saucepan
- Large wooden spoon
- Large glass bowl
- Cutting board
- Knife
- Small wooden skewers
- Pastry brush
- Broiler pan
- Foil
Ingredients:
- 12 skinless, boneless chicken thighs
- 1 red pepper – seeded and cut into chunks
- 1 yellow pepper – seeded and cut into chunks
Barbecue Sauce:
- 6 tbsp ketchup
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- Grated zest and juice of 1 lime
- 2 tsp freshly grated ginger
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
Let’s Get Started!
- Place all the ingredients for the barbecue sauce in a small pan. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 2 minutes, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Let cool.
- Cut each chicken thigh into 2 or 3 pieces. Place the cooled barbecue sauce in a large bowl.
- Add the chicken, stir to coat, then let marinate for about 30 minutes.
- Thread 2 to 3 pieces of chicken onto the wooden skewers with pieces of red and yellow bell peppers. Repeat until the chicken and peppers have been used up.
- Line the bottom of a broiler pan with foil, then broil for 10 to 12 minutes, turning and brushing with the barbecue sauce, until the chicken is thoroughly cooked. (To make sure the chicken is fully cooked, pierce it with a fork to see if the juices run clear.)
Fun Food Fact Bell peppers come in different colors, including green, red, yellow, orange, and even purple. The color depends on the stage of maturity. Green bell peppers are harvested when unripe, while red, yellow, and orange ones are fully ripened versions of the same variety.

Chef Shiri Says… Remember to soak the wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent them from burning.
