How To Make chicken pinchitos with avocado chimichurri

  • 1
    Cut chicken into chunks.
  • 2
    Stir together the olive oil, vinegar, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper and marinate the chicken pieces in this for at least two hours.
  • 3
    While chicken marinates, soak wooden skewers for at least an hour to cut down on the wood scorching during the grill time.
  • 4
    Gently stir together the chimichurri sauce with the avocado, trying not to moosh it too much if it is very ripe. You want it chunky--not like a mashed guacamole.
  • 5
    Grill skewers over moderately hot coals for about 15 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and lightly charred. Serve kebabs with chunk chimichurri.
