Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup lemon juice, 1/4 cup orange juice, 3 tbsp olive oil, 3 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme, 1 1/2 tsp salt, and 1 tsp black pepper to create the marinade.
  2. Step 2: Add 1.5 lbs cut chicken thigh pieces to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor.
  3. Step 3: Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Thread the marinated chicken evenly onto the 8 soaked wooden skewers.
  4. Step 4: Grill the chicken skewers for 4-5 minutes per side, turning once, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the edges are lightly charred.
  5. Step 5: Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving with your choice of sides.
