Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. After it’s marinated thread onto 6 small metal skewers.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
