Summertime is my favorite time of the year because the days are warm and I get to do more activities outside. This year, my husband and I have been spending more time in our lush backyard. Hummingbirds fly around and I love listening to the birds sing. Furthermore, I love the smell of the fragrant honeysuckles and roses while sipping my morning coffee. I spend my mornings cutting flowers for my vase and picking strawberries and blueberries. We have used the charcoal grill a couple of times to cook some meat and vegetables. Some of my family’s favorite dishes to grill include pork barbecue, Korean barbecue ribsand grilled eggplant salad. This Filipino chicken barbecue is a new dish that has become an instant family favorite

HOW TO MAKE FILIPINO CHICKEN BARBECUE:
To make these tasty and appetizing Filipino chicken barbecue skewers, first marinate the chicken thighs overnight. The marinade consists of a mixture of chopped garlic, lemon juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, ketchup and sweet chilli sauce. Then, next day, thread the chicken onto soaked bamboo skewers and cook on a preheated barbecue grill. Afterwards, baste the thighs regularly with a mixture of soy sauce, brown sugar, ketchup and sweet chilli sauce.
In a large Ziploc bag, combine the garlic, lemon juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, ketchup and sweet chilli sauce. Add the chicken thighs, seal and massage the bag to ensure each piece is coated completely. Refrigerate and marinate overnight.
Soak the bamboo skewers for at least one hour before using them.
Prepare the basting sauce by combining the soy sauce, brown sugar, ketchup and sweet chilli sauce.
Thread the chicken thigh onto the skewers, one piece of chicken on each stick.
Preheat grill or heat grill pan over medium heat. Grill the chicken, basting and turning every few minutes, until cooked through.
