Instructions

  1. Step 1: Cut 1.5 lbs chicken thighs into 1-inch pieces. In a bowl, combine 1/2 cup peach nectar, 3 tbsp bourbon, 2 tbsp olive oil, and 1 tsp thyme. Add chicken and marinate for 30 minutes.
  2. Step 2: Thread chicken, 2 sliced bell peppers, and 1 sliced red onion onto skewers, alternating ingredients.
  3. Step 3: Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Place skewers on the grill and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and edges are slightly charred.
  4. Step 4: In a small saucepan, simmer remaining marinade for 3 minutes until slightly thickened. Brush glaze over skewers before serving.
