We'll email this post to you, so you can come back to it later!
We love Dana’s recipes at Killing Thyme. You’ll find that they’re not only well-tested, balanced, and thorough, but the writing is good. In addition, she’s an entertaining teacher. Today she’ll teach you about her Grilled Moroccan Chicken Skewers and a brief history of Morrocan seasonings.
So as for the recipe, here’s what you can expect. Tender skewered chicken breast, cherry tomatoes, and red onions seasoned with a harmonious mix of deep flavors like cumin, cinnamon, allspice, ginger, and turmeric and then grilled to perfection. Pinch me. I must be in heaven!
Ground Beef Kababs
These Ground Beef Kababs from Out Grilling, or burgers on a stick, are tender, juicy, and full of flavor. So for this recipe, Milisa uses her ground chile rub that’s full of brown sugar, onion flakes, onion powder, and more. And the burger itself has onion and egg and is topped with fresh parsley.
Shish Tawook
Instead of chicken breast, which can be unforgiving, Safira of Tiffin And Teal uses chicken thighs in her Shish Tawook because they are “gloriously juicy.” We couldn’t agree more! The rest of the recipe includes flavor-enhancing ingredients like yogurt, lemon, tomato sauce, and lots of spices.
Sweet and Sour Pork Kababs
These Sweet and Sour Pork Kabobs by Valerie of Wholesome Made Easy are summer vibes on a stick. So each delicious lunch skewer is complete with tender chunks of lean pork, pineapples, onions, carrots, and bell peppers. Then, they’re slathered with an ecstasy-inducing sweet and sour sauce.
Lamb Shish Kababs
If you ask us, Lamb Shish Kababs are THE kebabs. But if it’s your first time cooking lamb, you definitely want a guide. So, we chose Ayla of Cooking Gorgeous to show us the ropes. She gives you tips like marinating them and bringing the meat to room temperature before grilling.
Spicy Honey Lime Chicken
While you can make this Spicy Honey Lime Chicken from Two Kooks In The Kitchen with chicken breast, chicken thighs make for moister results. But either cut will provide a suitable canvas for the sauce, which is the true masterpiece of this dish. It’s a drinkable mix of honey, soy sauce, sriracha, lime, garlic, and ginger. Whoa!
Italian Sausage Skewers
These Italian Sausage Skewers from Christina’s Cucina are a simple way to mix up the menu of your next summer barbecue picnic. All you need is top-shelf Italian sausage (she offers a brand), vegetables, and skewers.

Lula Kabab
“Where have you been all my life?” That’s the question you’ll ask yourself upon taking that first bite of this Lula Kabab recipe from KC of G-Free Foodie. But what is a Lula Kebab? It’s ground beef and lamb, supremely seasoned with ingredients like onion, parsley, paprika, and cumin. Then it’s skewered, grilled, and finally, heaven.
Greek Chicken Kebab Bowl
So we know chicken kebabs are appetizing as is, but Maureen of Worldly Treat makes them even more mouthwatering with this Greek Chicken Kebab Bowl. It’s a dish that takes seasoned grilled skewered chicken and combines it with rice, red onion, grilled corn, and minty cilantro yogurt sauce for the flavorful bowl of your dreams.
Ground Turkey Kababs
I am not going to lie. If I had to choose between shredded beef recipes and ground turkey recipes, it would be the former. That’s because turkey is easy to overcook and becomes dry and unappetizing.
However, with these Ground Turkey Kababs from Veena Azmanov, you’ll learn to keep them nice and moist. Plus, they are packed to the hilt with flavor from onions, herbs, and spices.
Pineapple Jalapeno Shrimp Skewers
Bold. That’s the word that comes to mind when thinking about these Pineapple Jalapeno Shrimp Skewers from Rachel of Zested Lemon.
