Spiced Chicken Kebabs

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Add the chicken thighs, ensuring they are well coated in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Skewers

    If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 15 minutes to prevent burning. While the skewers are soaking, slice the Fresno peppers into rings, removing the seeds if desired.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Kebabs

    Thread the marinated chicken and Fresno pepper rings onto the skewers, alternating between chicken and peppers.

  4. 4

    Grill the Kebabs

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the kebabs for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from grill and let rest for a few minutes. Serve hot with your choice of dip or sauce.
