Marinade

Skewer and vegetables

Method

Marinade

  1. 1

    In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, honey, red pepper flakes, black pepper, and salt.

  2. 2

    Trim the chicken thighs and cut into roughly 1-inch wide strips.

  3. 3

    Add the chicken to the marinade and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 30 to 60 minutes to let flavors meld.

Skewer assembly

  1. 4

    While the chicken marinates, soak wooden skewers in water for 20 minutes to prevent burning.

  2. 5

    Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers, alternating with chunks of red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, red onion, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes.

Grilling

  1. 6

    Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 425-450°F / 220-230°C). Lightly oil the grates.

  2. 7

    Grill skewers 8-12 minutes, turning every 2-3 minutes, until the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and vegetables are tender and lightly charred.

Serving

  1. 8

    Remove skewers from grill and let rest for 5 minutes.

  2. 9

    Serve with rice, flatbread, or a fresh salad; garnish with lemon wedges if desired.
