Marinated Chicken Souvlaki for Tsiknopempti (Smoky Thursday)
INGREDIENTS
•800g chicken fillet or thigh, cut into cubes
For the marinade
•80ml olive oil
•
1 lemon, juiced
•2 cloves garlic, crushed
•1 teaspoon dried oregano
•1 teaspoon sweet paprika
•1 teaspoon salt
•½ teaspoon black pepper
For grilling
•Skewers for souvlaki
For serving
•Greek pitas
•Yogurt sauce
METHOD
1. In a bowl, mix all the marinade ingredients. Add the chicken and mix well, ensuring the marinade coats everything. Cover the bowl and leave it in the fridge for at least 2 hours, or ideally overnight.
2. Place the wooden skewers in a bowl and cover them with water. This will help prevent them from burning when grilling in a pan, oven, or on the grill. Drain the wooden skewers. Thread the chicken onto the skewers.
3. Grill in a non-stick pan until lightly browned on all sides. Transfer to a baking tray lined with parchment paper and continue cooking in a preheated oven at 180°C until the chicken is cooked through and nicely browned.
