Ingredients

  • Ziplock Bag

  • Metal or Wooden Skewers

  • 1 Lbs. + Chicken

  • 3 Tbsp. Olive Oil (I used Extra Virgin Olive Oil)

  • 1 Tbsp. Oregano

  • 1 Lemon Juiced

  • 3 Cloves of Chopped Garlic

  • 1 Tbsp. Paprika

  • 1 Lemon (Grated Rind)

  • 2 tbsp. chopped onion

  • 2 Tbsp. Red Wine Vinegar

  • Wooden or metal Skewers

Steps

  1. In a small bowl add Olive Oil, Oregano, Lemon Juice, Paprika, Garlic, Grated Lemon Rind, Onion, and Red Wine Vinegar.

  2. Chop chicken in small pieces and add to Ziplock bag with the marinade.

  3. Refrigerate for a couple hours or overnight ( my proffered method) the longer you leave it to marinate the better it tastes.

  4. When ready to cook, thread the chicken to skewers (I used metal skewers) or for wooden skewers soak in water.

  5. Prepare your grill, brush grates with some olive oil and heat the grill over medium heat. Place the skewers on grill and cook and turn until browned on all sides. Using a cooking thermometer cook until it reaches 165
