Marinade and Chicken

Method

Preparation and Grilling

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Add the cubed chicken and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Skewers

    If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

  3. 3

    Skewer the Chicken

    Thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.

  4. 4

    Grill the Chicken

    Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your grilled chicken with your favorite sides!
