  • 1 tbsp fresh cilantro (chopped)
  • 1 tbsp fresh chives (chopped)

πŸ§‘‍🍳 How to Make Cowboy Butter Chicken Skewers

1️⃣ Marinate the Chicken

In a large bowl, mix garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, black pepper, olive oil, and lime juice. Toss the chicken cubes in the marinade, ensuring they’re fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours).

2️⃣ Make the Cowboy Butter

Combine softened butter with parsley, cilantro, chives, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Shape the mixture into a log using parchment paper, then refrigerate until firm.

3️⃣ Skewer the Chicken

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers (soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning).

4️⃣ Grill to Perfection

Grill the chicken skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and has nice grill marks.

5️⃣ Serve with Cowboy Butter

Let the skewers rest for a few minutes after grilling. Slice the cowboy butter into rounds and place one on each skewer just before serving for a melty, flavorful finish.
