Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1½ lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper

Method
 

  1. Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
  2. Add chicken chunks, toss to coat, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. If using wooden skewers, soak them. Thread chicken onto skewers.
  3. Preheat grill to medium-high, oil grates, and grill skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes, until cooked through.
  4. Transfer to a platter, squeeze extra lemon over top, and serve.

Notes

For best flavor, marinate at least 30 minutes. Even 15 minutes at room temperature makes a difference if you are in a rush. Any leftover lemon halves can be grilled alongside the skewers for a sweeter, smokier squeeze.
