Instructions

  1. Step 1: Cut 1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs into 1.5-inch pieces and place in a bowl.
  2. Step 2: In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice, 3 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper until well combined.
  3. Step 3: Pour the marinade over the chicken pieces, tossing until each piece is fully coated; cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to infuse flavors.
  4. Step 4: Thread the marinated chicken pieces evenly onto 8 wooden skewers.
  5. Step 5: Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Grill the skewers for 4-5 minutes per side, turning once until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and develops light char marks.
  6. Step 6: Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
