Meat on Sticks is a fun and flavorful way to enjoy marinated and grilled protein. Easy to prepare and endlessly customizable, these skewers are perfect for gatherings, meal prep, or weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs chicken breast, beef sirloin, or lamb, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • Wooden or metal skewers
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (for brushing)
  • For the marinade:
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce or lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: 1 tsp honey, chili flakes, chopped herbs, or 2 tbsp yogurt

Instructions

  1. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
  2. Cut meat into uniform chunks and place in a bowl or zip-top bag.
  3. Whisk together marinade ingredients and pour over the meat. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
  4. Preheat grill, oven, or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat or 400°F (200°C).
  5. Thread marinated meat onto skewers, leaving small gaps for even cooking.
  6. Grill, broil, or bake for 12–15 minutes, turning halfway through, until meat is cooked through and lightly charred.
  7. Serve hot with desired dipping sauces or sides.

Notes

  • Marinate longer for deeper flavor—overnight is best.
  • Alternate meat with veggies like bell peppers, onions, or zucchini for added variety.
  • Try different marinades like teriyaki, chimichurri, or yogurt-based blends.
  • Leftover cooked meat can be removed from skewers and used in wraps, salads, or bowls.
  • Freeze raw marinated meat for later use—just thaw before cooking.
