Welcome to the ultimate guide on how to smoke delicious chicken kabobs on a Traeger grill. Smoking chicken kabobs is a fantastic way to infuse rich, smoky flavors into tender, juicy chicken and vegetables. With the right techniques and a Traeger grill, you can create mouthwatering chicken kabobs that will impress your family and friends. Let’s dive into the step-by-step process of smoking chicken kabobs on a Traeger grill.

Ingredients You’ll Need

Before you start smoking chicken kabobs on your Traeger grill, gather the following ingredients:

• Chicken breast, cut into cubes
• Assorted vegetables (bell peppers, onions, cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, etc.)
• Wooden skewers, soaked in water
• Olive oil
• Salt and pepper
• Your favorite seasoning or marinade

Preparing the Chicken and Vegetables

Start by marinating the chicken cubes in your favorite seasoning or marinade. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes to infuse it with flavor. While the chicken is marinating, prepare the vegetables by cutting them into uniform pieces that will thread easily onto the skewers.

Assembling the Kabobs

Once the chicken and vegetables are ready, it’s time to assemble the kabobs. Thread the marinated chicken cubes and assorted vegetables onto the soaked wooden skewers, alternating between the chicken and vegetables for a colorful and flavorful presentation.

Prepping the Traeger Grill

Preheat your Traeger grill to 225°F and select your desired wood pellets to impart a delicious smoky flavor. For chicken kabobs, fruit woods like apple or cherry are excellent choices as they complement the flavors of the chicken and vegetables.

Smoking the Chicken Kabobs

Once the Traeger grill is preheated and the wood pellets are producing a steady stream of smoke, place the assembled chicken kabobs directly onto the grill grates. Close the lid and let the kabobs smoke for approximately 60-90 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F, and the vegetables are tender with a slight char.

Serving and Enjoying

Once the chicken kabobs are perfectly smoked, carefully remove them from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve the smoky, flavorful chicken kabobs with a side of rice, salad, or your favorite dipping sauce. Your guests will be delighted by the delicious aroma and taste of the smoked chicken and vegetables.

Now that you have mastered the art of smoking chicken kabobs on a Traeger grill, it’s time to gather your ingredients and fire up the grill. Whether you’re hosting a backyard barbecue or simply craving a flavorful meal, smoking chicken kabobs on a Traeger grill is a fantastic way to elevate your grilling game and impress your guests. Happy smoking!
