For best results, marinate the chicken for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to fully penetrate. If using wooden skewers, be sure to soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from burning. Serve these kebabs with a side of rice, couscous, or a fresh salad for a complete and satisfying meal. You can also use chicken thighs for a richer, more flavorful kebab. Be sure to trim any excess fat before cubing. Adjust the amount of garlic and lemon to your taste preference.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, lemon juice, lemon zest, brown sugar, and minced garlic. (5 minutes)
02
StepAdd the cubed chicken to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours, to allow the flavors to meld. (1 hour minimum)
03
StepPreheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, ensure the coals are glowing with a light ash coating. (10 minutes)
04
StepRemove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers, leaving a small space between each piece. (10 minutes)
05
StepLightly oil the grill grates with cooking oil to prevent sticking. Arrange the chicken skewers on the preheated grill. (2 minutes)
06
StepCook for approximately 15-20 minutes, turning the skewers occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). The juices should run clear when pierced with a fork. (15-20 minutes)
07
StepRemove the kebabs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley or lemon wedges, if desired. (5 minutes)

Jun 21, 2025Soaked my wooden skewers for an hour and still ended up with a couple burnt ones. Next time I'm using metal! But the recipe was great.
