Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup lager beer, 2 tbsp olive oil, 3 cloves minced garlic, 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme, 1 tsp salt, and 0.5 tsp black pepper. Whisk well to create the marinade.
  2. Step 2: Add 1 lb of 1.5-inch chicken thigh pieces to the marinade, tossing to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to tenderize and infuse flavor.
  3. Step 3: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the 6 soaked wooden skewers.
  4. Step 4: Grill the skewers for 5-6 minutes per side, turning once, until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice charred exterior. The internal temperature should reach 165°F.
  5. Step 5: Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy the juicy, herbaceous chicken skewers.
