Chicken Marinade

Roasted Garlic Sauce

Method

Chicken Marinade Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Mix the Marinade

    In a separate bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Marinate the Chicken

    Pour the marinade over the chicken cubes and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for more flavor.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Skewers

    If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning. Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers, interspersing with pickles if desired.

Grilling and Sauce Preparation

  1. 5

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  2. 6

    Grill the Chicken

    Place the chicken skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.

  3. 7

    Roast the Garlic

    While the chicken is grilling, prepare the roasted garlic sauce. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the top off the head of garlic, drizzle with olive oil, wrap in aluminum foil, and roast for 30-35 minutes until soft.

  4. 8

    Make the Roasted Garlic Sauce

    Once the garlic is cool enough to handle, squeeze the cloves into a bowl. Add mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and water. Mix until smooth.

  5. 9

    Serve

    Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve the chicken kabobs with the roasted garlic sauce on the side.
