Mediterranean Lemon & Oregano Chicken Skewers
Experience the bright, refreshing taste of our Mediterranean Lemon & Oregano Chicken Skewers. These chicken skewers are all about simplicity and bold flavour—tender pieces of chicken marinated in a lively blend of lemon, olive oil, and oregano.
Equipment
- 8 Skewers when using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes
Ingredients
- 900 g Chicken Thighs boneless, cut into 3 cm cubes
- 60 ml olive oil extra virgin
- 1 lemon juiced and zest
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tbsp oregano dried
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper ground
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Add the chicken pieces and toss until each piece is well coated with the marinade. Cover the bowl with cling film and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the chicken skewers to fully absorb the vibrant flavours.
- Preheat your grill to 200°C (400°F) and lightly oil the grates.
- Thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers, ensuring the pieces are evenly distributed.
- Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning every few minutes until the chicken is evenly charred and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 75°C [165°F]).
- Remove the chicken skewers from the grill and let them rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
