Instructions
- Mix all of the marinade ingredients together in a small bowl.
- Place chicken cubes in a Ziploc bag and pour in the marinade. Seal the bag and toss to coat evenly with the marinade, then open the bag and reseal, removing as much air as possible. Place the chicken in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to 6 hours (Note: do not marinate overnight).
- Thread the meat onto the skewers. Heat your BBQ to medium-high.
- Grill over medium-high heat for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally until they are cooked through (internal temperature 165ºF).
- Serve and enjoy! Optional serve with Greek Salad, Tzatziki, Yellow Rice, Greek Roasted Potatoes, and Pita Bread.
