Kabob Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this top-rated kabob recipe: 

  • Sauces: The marinade starts with a sweet-savory mixture of teriyaki sauce and honey. 
  • Seasonings: Garlic powder and ground ginger give the marinade loads of bold flavor. 
  • Meat: These meaty kabobs call for both chicken breasts and a pound of beef sirloin. 
  • Vegetables: You’ll need bell peppers, sweet onions, and whole fresh mushrooms. 

How to Make Kabobs

You’ll find a full, step-by-step recipe below — but here’s a brief overview of what you can expect when you make homemade kabobs: 

  1. Make the marinade. 
  2. Marinate the meat and vegetables. 
  3. Thread the ingredients onto skewers. 
  4. Grill the kabobs over medium-high heat. 

How to Store Kabobs

Store your leftover kabobs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days. Reheat in the microwave or oven until the meat is warmed through.

Can You Freeze Kabobs? 

Yes, you can freeze kabobs – but it’s best to freeze them before you grill them. Simply arrange the uncooked kebabs in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet, then cover and flash freeze for at least three hours. Transfer the now-frozen kabobs to a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to three months. Grill the chicken kebabs from frozen.

Allrecipes Community Tips and Praise

“Made these over a campfire while camping,” says Jim. “Family loved them! The longer they marinate, the better they are!”

“I made vegetarian kabobs, subtracting the meat and adding cherry tomatoes and zucchini slices,” according to carolyng. “I used the sauce as described in the recipe, marinated overnight, and enjoyed my guest's lavish praise. I will make this one again soon.”

“Tried this recipe for a family cookout of over 20 people,” says JENLAUREN. “Assembling the skewers for this large crowd was quite time consuming, but worth it! Received many requests for the marinade recipe. Definitely a keeper!”
