FOR THE CHICKEN SKEWERS:
- 400 g Corn-fed chicken breast cut into bite-sized cubes
- 2 Tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon of cumin
- 1 garlic clove finely chopped
- Salt and black pepper
FOR THE CHIMICHURRI ROJO:
- 1 red bell pepper finely chopped
- 3 tablespoon of fresh parsley chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh oregano chopped (or 1 tsp dried)
- 2 garlic cloves finely chopped
- 1 small red chili pepper finely chopped
- 4 Tablespoon of olive oil
- 2 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- Salt and pepper
FOR THE BAKED DOUGHNUTS:
- 4 medium-sized potatoes cut into thick slices
- 2 Tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 tsp fresh rosemary chopped
- 1 tsp thyme
- Salt and pepper
PREPARATION:
Mix the chicken cubes with olive oil, paprika, cumin, garlic, salt, and pepper.
Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes—preferably in a cooler at the campground.
Combine all the chimichurri ingredients in a jar or small bowl and let them sit so the flavors can blend.
Mix the potato slices with olive oil, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper, then wrap them tightly in aluminum foil in individual portions.
COOKING STEPS:
Place the foil-wrapped potatoes on the grill and cook for about 20 minutes, turning them once.
Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto skewers and grill over medium-high heat for about 10–12 minutes.
Turn the skewers regularly until the chicken is cooked through and lightly browned and crispy around the edges.
Remove the Shiraz from the cooler and let it come to room temperature 10 minutes before serving.
SERVE:
Arrange the chicken skewers on a wooden board or directly on the camping table.
Spoon a generous amount of Chimichurri Rojo over the skewers or serve it on the side in a small glass.
Unwrap the potatoes from the aluminum foil and place them right next to the skewers.
Pour the Shiraz into a bulbous red wine glass and enjoy the evening.
