Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, lemon juice, lemon zest, brown sugar, and minced garlic. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Add the cubed chicken to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours, to allow the flavors to meld. (1 hour minimum)

03

Step

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, ensure the coals are glowing with a light ash coating. (10 minutes)

04

Step

Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers, leaving a small space between each piece. (10 minutes)

05

Step

Lightly oil the grill grates with cooking oil to prevent sticking. Arrange the chicken skewers on the preheated grill. (2 minutes)

06

Step

Cook for approximately 15-20 minutes, turning the skewers occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). The juices should run clear when pierced with a fork. (15-20 minutes)

07

Step

Remove the kebabs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley or lemon wedges, if desired. (5 minutes)

For best results, marinate the chicken for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to fully penetrate.
If using wooden skewers, be sure to soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from burning.
Serve these kebabs with a side of rice, couscous, or a fresh salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
You can also use chicken thighs for a richer, more flavorful kebab. Be sure to trim any excess fat before cubing.
Adjust the amount of garlic and lemon to your taste preference.

    The lemon and garlic combination is perfect! I added a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade for a little extra kick.

  • Hollie Stroman

    Soaked my wooden skewers for an hour and still ended up with a couple burnt ones. Next time I'm using metal! But the recipe was great.

  • Cicero Rau

    Great recipe! Made it with chicken thighs as suggested and it was super moist and flavorful.

    I made these last night, and they were delicious! My family loved them, and they were so easy to make.

    These kebabs were a huge hit at our summer barbecue! The marinade is so flavorful, and the chicken was incredibly tender.
