Chicken Skewer

Method

Chicken Skewer

  1. 1

    Make the marinade

    In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, olive oil, honey, lemon juice, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes until well combined.

  2. 2

    Marinate chicken

    Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes to 2 hours for best flavor.

  3. 3

    Prepare onions

    Peel the red onions and cut into eight wedges. Pat dry to help them sear on the grill.

  4. 4

    Assemble skewers

    Thread alternating pieces of marinated chicken and onion wedges onto soaked wooden skewers (or metal skewers). Leave a little space for heat circulation.

  5. 5

    Preheat grill

    Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 425°F / 220°C). Lightly oil the grates or brush with a little marinade.

  6. 6

    Grill

    Grill skewers 8-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through (internal temp 165°F / 74°C) and the onions are nicely caramelized with char. Baste with the remaining marinade during the last few minutes.

  7. 7

    Rest and garnish

    Transfer to a platter, let rest 5 minutes, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and serve with your favorite side.
