Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Grilled Chicken Souvlaki with Tzatziki Sauce.
Step 1
Begin by assembling all the essential ingredients for your delicious chicken souvlaki.
Step 2
In a spacious resealable bag, blend together olive oil, minced garlic, fresh lemon juice, dried oregano, and a pinch of salt.
Step 3
Introduce the chicken pieces into the bag, ensuring they are thoroughly coated in the flavorful marinade.
Step 4
Squeeze out any excess air, seal the bag tightly, and let it marinate in the refrigerator for a minimum of two hours to enhance the flavors.
Step 5
For the tzatziki sauce, combine yogurt, grated cucumber, olive oil, vinegar, minced garlic, and salt in a mixing bowl.
Step 6
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for one to two hours, allowing the ingredients to harmonize beautifully.
Step 7
While the sauce is chilling, soak wooden skewers in cold water for about 15 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
Step 8
Preheat your outdoor grill to a medium-high temperature and lightly oil the grate to ensure a perfect sear.
Step 9
Once marinated, remove the chicken from the bag and thread the pieces onto the soaked skewers, discarding any leftover marinade.
Step 10
Place the skewers on the hot grill, cooking them while turning frequently until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, which should take about 7 to 8 minutes per side.
Step 11
Serve your succulent grilled chicken souvlaki alongside the refreshing tzatziki sauce for dipping.
Step 12
Savor every bite and enjoy a taste of the Mediterranean right at home!.
