Notes

  • Do not over-marinate chicken breast (1–6 hours is ideal).
  • Chicken thighs can be used for extra juiciness.
  • Soak wooden skewers for 30 minutes before grilling.
  • For a richer flavor, brush with melted butter and lemon after cooking (lemon butter chicken style).
  • Serve with potatoes for a Greek chicken and potatoes variation.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
