Keto Chicken Shashlik Skewers

Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs Chicken thighs, boneless, skinless, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 1 medium Onion, grated
• 2 tbsp Lemon juice
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp Paprika
• 1 tsp Cumin
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper

Instructions

1. 1In a large bowl, combine the 1 medium grated onion, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon paprika, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon salt, and 0.5 teaspoon black pepper. Mix everything together thoroughly.
2. 2Add the 1.5 lbs chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch cubes, to the bowl with the marinade. Use your hands or a spoon to mix the chicken cubes until they are completely coated. Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the chicken to marinate.
3. 3Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. This is approximately 400-450°F (200-230°C).
4. 4Carefully thread the marinated chicken cubes onto skewers, distributing them evenly. If using wooden skewers, ensure they have been soaked in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
5. 5Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Grill for 12-15 minutes, turning them every few minutes to ensure even cooking. The chicken is done when it is cooked through, no longer pink inside, and has developed a slightly charred exterior. For food safety, the internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
6. 6Remove the chicken skewers from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, making the chicken more tender. Serve hot.
