Let's Talk Taste
These Grilled Buffalo Chicken Skewers are spicy and so yum! There is the charred and smokey flavor of grilled chicken and veggies. Also, the spicy taste of Buffalo sauce, the kick of Cayenne Pepper and Garlic Powder makes this taste so damn good. I especially love this with some comforting sides like Baked Mac and Cheese or Garlic Parmesan Smashed Potatoes or a Good Summer Potato Salad.

Kabobs are one of our family's favorites. We love to heat up the grill and make Kabobs especially around this time of the year when it's sunny, bright, and refreshing in the outdoors.
Tender, juicy, and flavorful Chicken along with grilled veggies tastes so good. Also, the choice of veggies is limitless. From Bell peppers to Zucchini to Summer Squash, you can knead any summer veggie in the skewers and grill them to perfection!
How Do You Make Grilled Buffalo Chicken Skewers?
STEP 1: Chop the Chicken
- I am using Chicken Thigh pieces here because they are juicy, tender and so flavorful
- Chop the Chicken Thigh Pieces into 1-inch cubes
STEP 2: Marinate the Chicken
- Toss Chicken Pieces with Salt, Pepper, Garlic Powder, and Cayenne Pepper. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or 8 hours (if possible)
- This is the most important step of this recipe because it's the marinade that builds up the flavors in this Grilled Buffalo Chicken Skewers. I have not added Buffalo Sauce to the marinade because you don't like a smoked Buffalo sauce taste. So, you need to add it while grilling these skewers.
STEP 3: Grill
- Grill the Skewers @400F for 5-7 minutes or in a Grill Pan.
- Brush Buffalo Sauce over the Skewers
STEP 4: Serve
- After these Grilled Buffalo Chicken Skewers get grilled, drizzle some more Buffalo sauce on top and serve immediately.
