By Derrick Riches, About.com

What better way to liven up a cocktail party than to make foods with actual cocktails. Try this chicken kebab recipe the next time you have such a party. Make sure you don't let the chicken marinate longer than 20-30 minutes.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 13 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 6-8 chicken breasts, cut into 1 inch cubes
  • Marinade:
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup gin
  • 1/4 cup tonic
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil

Preparation:

Combine all marinade ingredients in a large bowl. Add chicken pieces and marinate for 20-30 minutes. Preheat grill. Removed chicken from marinade, but do not discard. Thread chicken onto skewers (if using bamboo skewers, remember to soak them for an hour before use) and place on grill on medium high heat for 4-6 minutes per side, turning once. Take remaining marinade and simmer in saucepan. Once chicken has finished cooking, serve with sauce over top.
