Equipment
- wooden or metal skewers
Ingredients
- 900 g chicken thighs boneless
- 60 ml olive oil extra virgin
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tbsp rosemary fresh, chopped
- 1 tbsp thyme fresh, chopped
- 1 tbsp oregano fresh, chopped
- 1 tsp salt sea
- ½ tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Make the Marinade: In a large bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, rosemary, thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the bowl and toss until every piece is well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the fridge for at least two hours, or overnight for better flavor.
- Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to 200°C (400°F) and lightly oil the grates so the chicken does not stick.
- Skewer the Chicken: Thread the chicken pieces onto the skewers. If you like, you can alternate the chicken with pieces of bell pepper or red onion for extra flavor and color.
- Grill the Skewers: Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for 10-12 minutes, turning every few minutes to ensure the chicken is nicely browned on all sides. The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 75°C (165°F).
