# Ingredients You'll Need:
→ Marinade
01 -
Juice from a big lemon
02 -
3 tablespoons Greek spice blend
03 -
Half a teaspoon fresh black pepper, cracked
04 -
Half a teaspoon salt
05 -
4 big garlic cloves, chopped fine

1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
07 -
2 tablespoons olive oil
→ Protein
08 -
450 grams chicken breast or thigh pieces, no skin or bones, chunked up
# Step-by-Step Instructions:
01 -
Toss olive oil, white wine vinegar, chopped garlic, Greek spices, lemon juice, salt, and pepper all together in a big bowl or zip bag. Give it a good stir so everything comes together.
02 -
Pop those chicken bits into your marinade, making sure everything's well covered. Zip up or seal and chill in the fridge for at least six hours. Let it sit overnight if you really want awesome taste.
03 -
If you’re going with wooden skewers, dunk them in water for like half an hour so they don’t burn. Slide marinated chicken onto the skewers, leaving a tiny bit of space in between for even grilling.
04 -
Get your grill or grill pan hot, set it to medium-high. Lay the chicken skewers on and grill ten to fifteen minutes, flipping now and then, so they cook through and get those yummy bits of char. Double-check that they hit 74°C inside.
05 -
Take the skewers off the heat. Cover loosely with foil and let the chicken chill for five minutes so it's juicy. Plate up—try with warm pita, creamy tzatziki, and crisp salad if you like.
# Extra Tips and Tricks:
01 -
You'll get the tastiest, most tender chicken if you leave it in the marinade overnight.
02 -
Once they've cooled, pull the chicken off the skewers and stash in an airtight box in the fridge. Good for about five days.
03 -
If you're in a rush, cook in an air fryer at 188°C for 18–20 minutes, or in the oven at 200°C about 20 minutes, turning halfway through.
