Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 3 whole Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, and honey. Whisk until well blended.
Add the minced garlic cloves, paprika, cumin, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix thoroughly to combine all the ingredients and create a smooth marinade.
Place your chicken pieces (approximately 1.5 pounds, cut into 1-inch cubes) in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish.
Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap.
Refrigerate the chicken for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight, to allow the flavors to infuse. Turn the chicken occasionally for even marination.
When ready to cook, remove the chicken from the marinade and discard any excess liquid. Thread the chicken onto skewers, alternating with your choice of vegetables if desired.
Grill or broil the kabobs on medium-high heat until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally for even cooking.
