This Bengal Barbecue Chicken Skewers recipe from Disneyland won’t disappoint, made with a tangy and sweet Polynesian Sauce.

The Bengal Barbecue Chicken Skewers recipe is one of Disneyland’s most requested recipes, especially since they are a relatively healthy option when compared to those amazing Corn Dogs!

The Bengal Barbecue Chieftain Chicken Skewer from Adventureland.

Located inside Adventureland, Bengal Barbecue has a variety of Polynesian-themed items on the menu, including the Chieftain Chicken Skewers (as these are named), Banyan Beef Skewers, and the BBQ Pork Belly Skewers, which were a relatively new option before the COVID shutdowns. Everything is served with a delicious pineapple Polynesian BBQ sauce. The Safari Skewers (bacon-wrapped asparagus) are also delicious.

The recipes for Bengal Barbecue are available from City Hall on Main Street in Disneyland.

We heard City Hall sometimes gives out recipes from the park, and sure enough they were kind enough to share their Bengal Barbecue Chicken Skewers recipe with us! And these chicken kabobs tasted SO much better made at home!

The marinade for the Bengal Barbecue Chicken Skewers includes fresh garlic and grated ginger.

Voila! The finished Bengal Barbecue Chicken Skewers Recipe!

Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds raw chicken tenders or chicken breast cut into kabob size wedges

Marinade

1 cup teriyaki sauce
1 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sherry wine

Preheat grill.
Soak skewers in water to prevent them from catching fire on the grill.
