Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (boneless, skinless) Chicken breast
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tbsp Lemon juice
- 3 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 2 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Cumin
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Red chili flakes
- 1 tbsp Honey
- 8 pieces Wooden skewers
Instructions
Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent them from burning while grilling.
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized cubes, roughly 1-1.5 inches in size.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, salt, black pepper, red chili flakes, and honey to create the marinade.
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, making sure to coat each piece evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto the soaked wooden skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, rotating occasionally to ensure the chicken is evenly cooked. The chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the Chicken on a Stick with your favorite dipping sauce or side dishes such as rice, grilled vegetables, or a salad.
