Ingredients

6 servings

2 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs
6 ounces light beer (I used Corona light)
1/2 tablespoon Sazon (homemade or 1 Sazon packet with achiote)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3 tablespoons white vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 ounce avocado
2 jalapeños (stemmed, with seeds*)
3 tbsp fresh cilantro
2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic
2 tbsp white vinegar
3 to 4 tablespoons water
1/8 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt (plus 1/8 teaspoon )

Steps

Cut chicken into long strips. Place in a large bowl and marinade with beer, vinegar, sazon, salt, garlic powder, cumin and oregano. Marinate 3 to 4 hours or overnight.
After it’s marinated thread onto 6 small metal skewers.
For the Avocado Aji Verde Sauce, place all ingredients in a mini blender and puree until smooth, adding enough water so it’s pourable over the chicken. Refrigerate until ready to eat. Can be refrigerated up to 4 days.
To grill the chicken, preheat the grill to medium and oil the grates. Cook chicken about 5 minutes on each side. Serve drizzled with sauce.
