Recipe Instructions:
- In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, orange juice, lemon juice, honey, minced garlic, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper to create the citrus marinade.
- Place the chicken cubes in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the chicken is well-coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto the soaked wooden skewers, ensuring an even distribution.
- Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has a beautiful char.
- Serve the Grilled Citrus Chicken Skewers hot, garnished with fresh herbs or a wedge of lemon for an extra burst of flavor.
Notes:
- Experiment with different citrus fruits for a unique twist – try adding grapefruit or lime juice to the marinade.
- These skewers pair wonderfully with a side of couscous, grilled vegetables, or a crisp green salad.
- Don’t forget to soak the wooden skewers before grilling to prevent them from burning.
