Grilled Chicken Thigh Skewers

Fresh lemon juice does make a difference so try to use it along with fresh herbs. The wooden skewers will take longer to soak than the marinade and chicken.

Lemon adds flavour and tenderizes the chicken, but if left for too long it can break down chicken quickly. We prefer to use a bit more for much less amount of time.

Serve with any summer sides you wish such as Bruschetta, Tzatziki, Hummus, or Oven Rice. There are no Carbs in the skewers until the sides make an appearance.
