Chicken Skewers with Guasacaca
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.
Method
1h 20m20m1h 40m
- 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.
- If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for 20 minutes. Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers.
- Grill the skewers over high heat for 10–12 minutes, turning every few minutes, until lightly charred and cooked through.
- 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.
- Add 2–4 tablespoons of water to loosen to a spoonable sauce. Season to taste with salt and black pepper.
- Serve the hot chicken skewers with the guasacaca on the side.
