Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Mediterranean Chicken Skewers.
Step 1
Start by grabbing a mixing bowl and whisk together the zesty lemon juice, fragrant wok oil, tangy red wine vinegar, onion flakes, minced garlic, and fresh lemon zest.
Step 2
Then, sprinkle in the Greek seasoning, poultry seasoning, dried oregano, black pepper, and dried thyme, blending everything until it’s a harmonious mix.
Step 3
Next, take your chicken pieces and immerse them in this flavorful marinade, making sure each piece is thoroughly coated.
Step 4
For the best flavor infusion, transfer the chicken and marinade into a resealable plastic bag, squeezing out any excess air before sealing it tight.
Step 5
Pop the bag into the refrigerator and let it marinate for at least two hours, or if you can wait, overnight is even better for maximum flavor.
Step 6
When you’re ready to cook, preheat your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).
Step 7
Once the oven is warm, take the chicken out of the marinade and give it a gentle shake to remove any extra marinade.
Step 8
Now, it’s time to thread those marinated chicken pieces onto soaked bamboo skewers, creating delicious little bundles of flavor.
Step 9
Discard any leftover marinade, as it has done its job.
Step 10
Arrange your skewers on a baking sheet and slide them into the preheated oven.
Step 11
Roast for about 20 minutes, or until the chicken turns a beautiful golden brown and is cooked through.
Step 12
The aroma wafting through your kitchen will be irresistible, and soon you’ll be enjoying a delightful meal that’s bursting with flavor!.
