Greek Style Chicken Souvlaki
Ingredients
- 600g boneless skinless chicken thigh
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp dried oregano
- 2 cloves garlic
- 3/4 tsp chilli powder
- 3/4 tsp cumin powder
- 1 heaped tsp smoked paprika
- Good pinch of salt and pepper
Preparation
Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces.
Mix all the ingredients except the chicken in a mixing bowl. Then add the chicken and stir well to ensure all pieces of chicken are coated in the marinade. Put in the fridge for 2-12 hours to marinate - longer is better. Soak wooden skewers during this time.
Remove chicken from fridge, roughly divide into 3 or 4 depending on how many skewers you want to make and then thread the chicken down the pointy edge of the skewers. Threading through two points of each piece of chicken will make it more secure.
Cook under a hot grill or on the bbq. Cooking times will vary depending on the size and how densely you pack the skewers but large ones take around 5 mins on both sides under a hot grill.
