Chicken Souvlaki

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. boneless chicken, cut in 1½-inch pieces

Souvlaki Marinade

  • Combine:
  • ½ a small onion, sliced thinly
  • ½ cup olive oil
  • ½ cup red wine vinegar
  • juice of one lemon
  • 1 T. honey
  • 1 t. oregano
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 t. salt
  • ½ t. pepper

Instructions

  • Marinate the chicken at least 4 hours, overnight is even better.
  • When ready to cook, thread the chicken on skewers. Discard marinade.
  • Prepare grill for direct cooking. Brush the grates with a little oil and grill the skewers, turning often, for about 5 minutes total. An instant-read thermometer should read 155°-160°. The internal temperature will continue to climb for a few minutes, even off the heat. Let the souvlaki rest for several minutes before serving.
  • Serve with pita or rice, vegetables, and tzatziki sauce.
