Instructions

Prepare Marinade: Whisk together marinade ingredients until combined. Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Cut chicken thighs into 1-inch squares. Combine the chicken with the marinade and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Combine Breadcrumb Mixture: Combine breadcrumb mixture ingredients on a large plate. Once the chicken is done marinating, skewer the chicken thighs onto the skewers. Toss the chicken skewers in the breadcrumb mixture until thoroughly covered.
Grill: Preheat grill to medium heat. Spray the grill with cooking spray to avoid chicken sticking. Place the chicken thighs on the grill and grill each side for about 4 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Serve: Place the chicken spiedini on a plate and squeeze lemon juice on top. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Storage: Store leftover cooked Chicken Spiedini in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.

Reheating: Gently reheat Chicken Spiedini in a microwave until warmed through or in a preheated oven at a low temperature to preserve the crispy coating.

Freezing: Freeze prepared but uncooked Chicken Spiedini on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container; thaw overnight in the refrigerator before grilling.
