2lbboneless(skinless chicken thighs)
6ozlight beer(I used Corona light)

Cut chicken into long strips. Place in a large bowl and marinade with beer, vinegar, sazon, salt, garlic powder, cumin and oregano. Marinate 3 to 4 hours or overnight.
After it’s marinated thread onto 6 small metal skewers.
For the Avocado Aji Verde Sauce, place all ingredients in a mini blender and puree until smooth, adding enough water so it’s pourable over the chicken. Refrigerate until ready to eat. Can be refrigerated up to 4 days.
To grill the chicken, preheat the grill to medium and oil the grates. Cook chicken about 5 minutes on each side. Serve drizzled with sauce.

Notes
*I like the sauce spicy, so I leave the seeds from the jalapeno in, but you can make it milder by omitting the seeds.
