Beef & Chicken Duo Skewers (BBQ)

    Preparation / Instructions

    1. Whisk everything for the marinade together. Reserve 3 tbsp as a glaze. Divide the rest between two bowls: one for chicken, one for beef. Cover; chicken chill 30–60 min, beef 20–30 min (shorter keeps it more tender).
    2. Light the BBQ and set it up with two zones: a hot direct side and a medium/indirect side. Clean and oil the grate.
    3. Make separate skewers: chicken with pepper & zucchini; beef with red onion. Pat the meat lightly dry before threading (better sear).
    4. Place the chicken skewers over direct heat and grill 8–10 min total. Turn every 2–3 min. Move to indirect if they color too quickly. In the last minute glaze with the reserved marinade. Chicken internal temperature: 75 °C.
    5. Grill the beef skewers 5–7 min total over direct heat until nicely browned. In the last 30–60 sec lightly glaze. Let rest 3 min. Target internal temp: 54–57 °C (medium-rare) or to taste.
    6. Mix everything for the yogurt-lemon sauce. Serve the skewers with the sauce and extra lemon wedges.

    Tips

    • keep chicken and beef on separate skewers (safety + perfect cooking).
    • cut slightly smaller (1.5–2 cm), grill in small batches, and glaze only at the end to prevent burning.
    • Move to the cooler zone and close the lid for 30–60 sec.
    • swap the yogurt-lemon sauce for chimichurri or serve with flatbread and a fresh tomato salad.

These duo skewers are a BBQ party: juicy chicken and tender beef, each grilled on their own skewer for the perfect result. The fresh yogurt-lemon sauce completes the dish. Ideal for a summer barbecue with friends or family.

Use a meat thermometer to ensure the correct internal temperature. For chicken, 75 °C is the minimum; beef can be left pink to taste. Always let the beef rest after grilling for the best juiciness.
