Instructions
Creating grilled chicken skewers is effortless when you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a large bowl, mix together the lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken thigh pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring a nice sear on the chicken.
4. Skewer the Chicken: Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
5. Grill the Skewers: Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has grill marks.
6. Check for Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
7. Serve: Remove from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
