Instructions
-
Place cut pieces of chicken in a large bowl or ziplock bag, season with salt, cover and refrigerate a minimum of 1 hour. Then one-by-one take chicken pieces and pierce them with the skewers. This should be enough chicken to fill four skewers tightly.
Place frozen orange juice, chipotle peppers, honey, mustard, garlic, lime juice, salt and vegetable oil in a blender or food processor and puree until smooth. (There will still be small flecks of chipotle peppers.) Transfer sauce into two separate bowls; one for brushing onto skewers while on the grill, the other for dipping.
After Fire up grill to high heat and grease with oil. Then place chicken skewers on hot grill. Cook approximately 10-15 minutes, rotating the chicken so that it cooks on all sides. (Internal temperature should reach 175ยบ) Brush on a liberal amount of the sauce while still on the grill and continue rotate and add sauce on all sides. Cook a few minutes longer, allowing the chicken time to soak up the sauce. Remove from grill and serve while hot with additional Orange Chipotle sauce for dipping.
