Nashville Hot Chicken Thigh Kabobs Made Easy

Step 1: Thaw and Prep

Welcome to the flavorful world of Oven Grillers’ Nashville Hot Chicken Thigh Kabobs! Begin your culinary adventure by thawing the kabobs in the refrigerator. Once fully thawed, remove the kabobs from their packaging.

Step 2: Preheat Oven

Let’s keep it simple and stick to a conventional oven for this spicy treat. Fire up your oven to 370 °F. While your oven gets warm, place your ready-to-cook Nashville Hot Chicken Thigh Kabobs in a non-stick oven-safe pan.

Step 3: Bake it Right

Slide the pan into the oven and let the kabobs sizzle away for 20-25 minutes, or until a food thermometer reveals an internal temperature of 165 °F. Be mindful of your oven’s characteristics, it may cook faster or slower than the average oven, so adjust your timing accordingly.

Cooking Tip: Use aluminum foil to create a ‘tent’ over your kabobs for the first half of baking to lock additional moisture in, ensuring juicy and tender kabobs.

Step 4: Rest and Dig In

Once the baking timer buzzes, let your fiery Nashville kabobs rest for a couple of minutes before serving.

Aim for a full Nashville experience by pairing your spicy kabobs with a cool and creamy coleslaw side dish. You can use store-bought coleslaw, or while your oven is preheating, whip up a quick homemade version using shredded cabbage, carrots, and a tangy mayo dressing. This can be refrigerated while the kabobs are cooking and be ready to serve at the same time.

Presentation is key, so serve your chicken kabobs atop a bed of the coleslaw. For an extra touch of authenticity, sprinkle the kabobs with additional Nashville hot seasoning and garnish with a couple of extra bread and butter pickles. Just like that, you’ve created a Nashville Hot Chicken Thigh Kabob meal that will impress the toughest of food critics. Enjoy your meal!

Nashville Hot Chicken Thigh Kabobs Prepared on the Grill

Step 1: Thaw and Prep

Begin your flavorful journey with Nashville Hot Chicken Thigh Kabobs from Oven Grillers. Start by allowing the product to thaw in your refrigerator. Once thawed, remove the kabobs from their packaging.

Step 2: Preheat Grill

Welcome to the BBQ portion of our journey. Preheat your grill to a medium-high heat. While the grill warms up, lay out a sheet of foil on the rack and place the Nashville Hot Chicken Thigh Kabobs on top.

Step 3: Grill Until Golden Brown

Grill the kabobs until golden brown, turning occasionally for even cooking. It’s essential to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Keep an eye on the grill, and adjust your cooking time as necessary, depending on the fierceness of your grill.

Grilling Tip: Apply some cooking oil onto the foil before placing the kabobs. This can help to prevent the kabobs from sticking and help to maintain their juicy goodness.

Step 4: Rest and Dish Up

After achieving golden brown perfection, let the kabobs rest for about five minutes. This locks in the juices and enhances the flavor. Now, it’s serving time!

Get that southern feel by plating the Nashville Hot Chicken Thigh Kabobs with some classic southern sides like cornbread and collard greens or a creamy homemade coleslaw. You can prepare these sides as the grill heats up. Simply bake cornbread or sauté collard greens in a pan on the grill or toss together the coleslaw, and place it on the side of the grill for warming.

A beautiful meal isn’t just about taste, but also presentation. Enhance the plate with a sprinkle of extra Nashville dry rub or a few tangy bread and butter pickles. You’re now set to feast on a Nashville feast that’s worthy of any Southern kitchen. Enjoy your meal!

Air Fryer-Cooked Nashville Hot Chicken Thigh Kabobs

Step 1: Thaw and Prepare

Start off this spicy culinary adventure with our Nashville Hot Chicken Thigh Kabobs from Oven Grillers. Thaw the product in your refrigerator first. Once it’s ready, unravel the kabobs from their packaging.

Step 2: Preheat Air Fryer

We’re diving into modern cooking methods with these kabobs. Get your air fryer preheating to 370°F. As it heats, arrange your thawed kabobs into a sprayed or non-stick pan that fits your air fryer.

Step 3: Cook and Rotate

Slide the pan into your heated air fryer and set it to cook for 10-12 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Using an air fryer gives these kabobs a golden, crunchy exterior while keeping the chicken moist and tender on the inside.

Cooking Tip: For best results, rotate halfway through the cooking time. This ensures even cooking and that delicious, golden-brown finish.

Step 4: Rest and Serve

After the kabobs have cooked thoroughly, let them rest for a moment before digging in.

To complement that spicy tangy taste of the Nashville hot dry rub and sweet pickles, pair these with a refreshing creamy coleslaw and maybe some smoky grilled corn on the cob. You can prep the sides as the air fryer preheats, and cook the corn along with the chicken for a seamless meal experience.

To add some aesthetic southern flair to your plate, garnish the kabobs with extra pickle slices and sprinkle some freshly chopped parsley over the coleslaw. Additionally, don’t forget a light sprinkle of your favorite spicy seasoning around the plate.

Get ready for a satisfying meal with a zing, that’ll whisk your taste buds straight to the heart of Nashville. Enjoy!

Pan Fried Nashville Hot Chicken Thigh Kabobs

Step 1: Thaw and Prep

Kick things off with Nashville Hot Chicken Thigh Kabobs, a fiery treat from the Oven Grillers menu. Start by thawing the product in your refrigerator. When it’s thawed and ready to cook, take the spicy chicken thigh kabobs out of their packaging.

Step 2: Heat Your Pan

For this dish, we’re turning up the heat with a pan fry method. Heat a non-stick pan to medium high heat. As it’s warming up, lay the thawed Nashville Hot Chicken Thigh Kabobs in a single layer, ensuring each kabob has its own spot in the pan.

Step 3: Sizzle and Saute

Once your pan is hot, sear each kabob for around 6-7 minutes on each side or until your food thermometer reads an internal temperature of 165°F. Your pan might be a bit fiery, so keep an eye and adjust the cooking time accordingly to prevent overcooking or undercooking.

Cooking Tip: Use a splash guard to prevent oil splatters from the pan and a pair of tongs to easily flip the kabobs without getting too close to the heat.

Step 4: Rest and Serve

After sautéing, give the kabobs a few minutes to rest before serving them. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, keeping it moist and flavorful.

Why not make this an all-out Southern feast? Plate these Nashville Hot Chicken Thigh Kabobs with classic sides like creamy coleslaw or sweet potato fries. You can prep these sides while your pan is heating up, and then pop them into your oven or your air fryer while you’re sautéing your kabobs, ensuring everything is ready at the same time.

Lastly, spice up your plating – garnish your kabobs with some of the included bread and butter pickles. Add an extra splash of color with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or even some extra Nashville Hot dry rub for an extra zing! And there you have it – a Southern feast that’s all kinds of hot and happening. Enjoy!
