Greek Chicken Souvlaki

Instructions

1. In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, black pepper, paprika, and crushed red pepper flakes.
2. Add the chicken pieces and toss to coat evenly. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for best flavor.
3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
4. Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers.
5. Grill the chicken skewers for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred.
6. Remove from the grill and let the skewers rest for a few minutes.
7. Serve over a bed of cooked rice and garnish with chopped parsley. Accompany with sliced red onion, cucumber, and tomatoes.

Chef’s Tips

• Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
• Marinate the chicken overnight for maximum flavor.
• Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
