Picture this: the campfire crackling, smoky barbecue wafting through the air, and deliciously tender meat and vegetables sizzling on skewers. Campfire BBQ skewers are not just a meal; they’re an experience that adds a touch of adventure and flavor to your outdoor escapades.
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast or beef sirloin, cut into chunks
- 1 bell pepper, cut into chunks (any color)
- 1 red onion, cut into chunks
- 8-10 cherry tomatoes
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- 1/4 cup BBQ sauce (homemade or store-bought)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Wooden or metal skewers
Cooking Steps
1. Prepare Your Fire: Start a campfire and let it burn down to medium-high coals. Alternatively, use a portable grill or campfire grate over the flames.
2. Marinate the Meat: In a bowl, combine the chicken or beef chunks with BBQ sauce, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat the meat evenly. Let it marinate for at least 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
3. Assemble the Skewers: Thread the marinated meat onto skewers, alternating with bell pepper chunks, red onion chunks, cherry tomatoes, and zucchini slices. Repeat until all ingredients are used up, leaving space between each piece for even cooking.
4. Grill Over the Fire: Place the skewers on the grill grate directly over the campfire. Grill for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the meat is cooked and the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
5. Serve and Enjoy: Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve hot and enjoy the delicious flavors of flame-grilled BBQ skewers at your campsite.
