Authentic Pork Souvlaki image

I believe these pork skewers are as close as you'll get to the real Greek style Pork Souvlaki. My family just loves them. It will work just as good with chicken. If you do not have the time to marinate overnight, you can let them sit in the refrigerator for about 2 to 3 hours and it will be just as good.

I tried this recipe and the pork turned out dry and overcooked. I'm not sure what went wrong, but I won't be making it again.

Fantastic recipe! The pork was so tender and flavorful. I marinated it for about 12 hours and then grilled it over medium heat. The souvlaki was a huge hit at my party and everyone raved about it.
