Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and spices helps to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
Cook the chicken over high heat: High heat will help to create a nice char on the outside of the chicken while keeping the inside juicy. Cook the chicken for 8-10 minutes per side, or until it is cooked through.
Serve with your favorite sides: Chicken kebabs can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, roasted vegetables, or pita bread. You can also serve them with a dipping sauce, such as tzatziki or hummus.
