Take note
Handle raw chicken with care, as it can contain harmful bacteria. Make sure to marinate the chicken in the refrigerator to prevent any foodborne illnesses. Keep in mind that marinating time may vary depending on your preference. Use proper caution when grilling to avoid burns.

1

Prepare the Marinade

In a bowl, combine 1/4 cup of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 2 cloves of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of paprika, 1 teaspoon of cumin, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.

2

Marinate the Chicken

Place the chicken pieces in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring that all the pieces are coated evenly. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 24 hours for maximum flavor.

3

Prepare the Skewers

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill. Meanwhile, preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

4

Thread the Chicken onto Skewers

Remove the marinated chicken from the refrigerator and thread the pieces onto the skewers, alternating with your favorite vegetables like bell peppers, onions, and cherry tomatoes. Leave a little space between each piece for even cooking.

5

Grill the Kebabs

Place the chicken kebabs on the preheated grill and cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, or until the chicken is fully cooked and nicely charred. Use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Serve and Enjoy!

Carefully remove the kebabs from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter. Let them rest for a few minutes before serving. These flavorful chicken kebabs are perfect for sharing with friends and family!
