Garlic Parmesan Chicken Skewers

INGREDIENTS

• 4 pounds of boneless chicken thighs
• ½ tablespoon fresh chopped parsley
• ½ tablespoon oregano
• 1 1/2 tablespoon parmesan cheese
• 4 cloves garlic minced
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon all purpose seasoning such as adobo or a salt, pepper & garlic seasoning
• ¾ teaspoon olive oil

Ingredients For Finishing Butter

• 1 stick butter(room temperature)
• ½ tablespoon parmesan cheese
• 1 garlic clove minced
• ½ tablespoon fresh chopped parsley

DIRECTIONS

1. Prepare Your Skewers – If using wooden BBQ skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. Alternatively, you can use metal skewers for convenience.
2. Trim and Slice the Chicken – Remove any excess fat from the chicken thighs, then cut them into 1-inch by 1-inch pieces for even cooking.
3. Marinate the Chicken – In a large mixing bowl, add the chicken pieces along with freshly chopped parsley, oregano, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, lemon juice, all-purpose seasoning, and olive oil. Mix well to ensure every piece is coated evenly.
4. Let It Rest – Allow the chicken to marinate in the bowl for 20 minutes. This step enhances the flavor and helps the seasoning absorb into the meat.
5. Assemble the Skewers – Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto your prepared BBQ skewers, ensuring they are spaced evenly for even grilling.
6. Preheat the Grill – Set your grill to medium heat and allow it to come up to temperature. While waiting, prepare your finishing butter for extra flavor.
7. Grill the Skewers – Place the skewers on the hot grill and rotate them every 3 minutes for even cooking.
8. Check for Doneness – Once the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 175°F (79°C), it's fully cooked and ready to come off the grill.
9. Add the Finishing Touch – While the chicken is still hot, brush each skewer generously with the finishing butter.
10. Garnish and Serve – Sprinkle with fresh parsley for a pop of color and extra flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy!
