Method
To make these skewers perfectly juicy and smoky:
- In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. This marinade is the secret to both flavour and tenderness.
- Toss the chicken and vegetables in the mixture until well coated. Cover and marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight for maximum flavour.
- Preheat your BBQ or grill to medium-high.
- If you’re not using TGB pre-made kebabs, thread the marinated chicken and vegetables alternately onto skewers.
- Cook for 12–15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 74°C and the vegetables are lightly charred.
- Rest for a few minutes, then serve hot with a squeeze of lemon and your favourite dipping sauce.
This balance of smoky chicken and fresh vegetables makes the skewers as beautiful on the plate as they are delicious.
Butcher’s Tip
- For extra juiciness, bring chicken to room temperature before grilling.
- Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
- Always use a meat thermometer to check doneness — 74°C internal temperature is the gold standard for food safety
- Don’t skip the resting stage: allowing the kebabs to rest for 3–4 minutes keeps the juices locked in, just like with steak.
- If you want a smoky restaurant-style finish, add a sprinkle of smoked sea salt right before serving.
