Ingredients
  

Recipe Ingredients
  • 2 lbs (900g) Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs Cut into 1.5-inch chunks
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) Extra Virgin Olive Oil High quality for the glistening finish
  • 3 tbsp (45ml) Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 2 tbsp (6g) Dried Oregano Flakes for earthy flavor
  • 1 tsp (2g) Cracked Black Pepper
  • 1/4 cup (15g) Fresh Parsley Finely chopped for finishing
  • 1 tbsp (15g) Coarse Sea Salt Visible crystals for texture
  • 1 sprig Fresh Rosemary Tucked on the side for aroma

Equipment

  • 8 Metal Skewers Ensures even heat conduction
  • 1 Weathered Silver Metal Baking Tray For authentic rustic presentation
  • 1 Outdoor Grill or Grill Pan High heat is essential for charring

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Whisk olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, and pepper in a large bowl. Add chicken and toss to coat. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Thread chicken chunks onto metal skewers, packing them closely together to ensure moisture retention.
Cooking
  1. Preheat grill to medium-high. Sear skewers for 4-5 minutes per side until golden-brown edges and deep dark char marks appear.
  2. Remove from heat and place on a metal tray. Immediately sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley and coarse sea salt while glistening.

Notes

Use chicken thighs instead of breasts for a juicier result.
Always add the coarse sea salt at the very end to keep the meat tender.
