Description
Perfect grilled chicken skewers for your summer gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and toss to coat. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
- Thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers, leaving a small space between each piece.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Grill the skewers for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
- Remove from grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauce or a fresh side salad.
- You can add vegetables like bell peppers and onions to the skewers for extra flavor and color.
