Overnight Lemon-thyme Chicken Skewers
  1. In a glass or ceramic bowl, combine chicken pieces with minced garlic, thyme leaves, cumin if using, salt and pepper.

  2. Use your hands to massage the seasonings into the meat for 15-20 seconds, coating each piece evenly.

  3. Pour fresh lemon juice over the chicken to begin the tenderizing process.

  4. Drizzle olive oil over everything to carry fat-soluble flavors into the meat.

  5. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 12-24 hours.

  6. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.

  7. Thread chicken pieces onto skewers, alternating with vegetables if desired.

  8. Bring your grill or broiler to medium-high heat (375°F/190°C).

  9. Cook skewers for 5-6 minutes per side, turning only once.

  10. Reserve a tablespoon of marinade and brush onto skewers during the final minute of cooking.
