Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Combine the lemon zest, rosemary, thyme, and minced garlic in a small bowl; stir in the olive oil, then season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Separate the skin around the breast and thighs from the meat. Rub the herb mixture onto the meat, underneath the skin. Cut the zested lemon in half, and place half of the lemon into the cavity of the chicken along with the whole garlic cloves. Place the chicken into a roasting pan, and squeeze the remaining lemon half evenly over the skin of the chicken.
- Bake the chicken in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 1 hour, 35 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 180 degrees F (82 degrees C). Remove the chicken from the oven, cover with a doubled sheet of aluminum foil, and allow to rest in a warm area for 10 minutes before slicing.

Steps:
- Cut chicken into 1 1/2 inch cubes, or 1/2 inches by 1 inch strips (as long as the chicken breast allows). Combine all marinade ingredients, whisk together well. Add chicken, stir to coat, refrigerate, 1-4 hours, I often like to put it in the 'fridge overnight. ( I put into all ziploc bag) Thread chicken onto soaked wooden ( or metal) skewers. Grill over medium heat, turn for even cooking.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make your kabobs taste their best. Look for chicken breasts or thighs that are plump and firm, and use fresh herbs and vegetables.
- Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken helps to tenderize it and infuse it with flavor. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices, or get creative and try a more complex marinade.
- Skewer the chicken and vegetables: Use metal or wooden skewers to skewer the chicken and vegetables. If you are using wooden skewers, be sure to soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from burning.
- Grill the kabobs over medium heat: Grilling the kabobs over medium heat helps to cook them evenly without burning them. Cook the kabobs for about 10-12 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
- Serve the kabobs with your favorite dipping sauce: Kabobs can be served with a variety of dipping sauces, such as tzatziki sauce, hummus, or chimichurri sauce.

Succulent Herbed Chicken Kabobs are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for summer grilling.
