serves 4

These Chicken Skewers paired with Guasacaca, a vibrant Venezuelan avocado-based sauce, offer a perfect balance of smoky and fresh flavours. The chicken is marinated in a blend of lime juice, Worcestershire sauce, and spices, then grilled to perfection.

The Guasacaca sauce, made with avocados, herbs, and a tang of lime, complements the chicken beautifully, adding a creamy texture and a burst of freshness. This dish is ideal for outdoor gatherings or a family BBQ.

  1. In a large bowl, combine the chicken, juice of 1 lime, 1 tablespoon olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, salt and black pepper. Mix well and marinate for at least 1 hour in the fridge.

  2. If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for 20 minutes. Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers.

  3. Grill the skewers over high heat for 10–12 minutes, turning every few minutes, until lightly charred and cooked through.

  4. For the guasacaca, blend avocado, red onion, green pepper, jalapeño, coriander, parsley, juice of 1 lime, red wine vinegar and remaining olive oil until smooth.

  5. Add 2–4 tablespoons of water to loosen to a spoonable sauce. Season to taste with salt and black pepper.

  6. Serve the hot chicken skewers with the guasacaca on the side.
