Method

Restated from the original video

  1. 1

    Soak the wooden skewers in water for 30 min so they do not scorch on the grill.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, stir together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, smoked paprika, oregano, red pepper flakes, salt and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Add the chicken and turn it until every piece is coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 min and up to 4 hours.

  4. 4

    Thread the chicken, peppers and onion onto the skewers in turn, leaving a small gap between pieces so the heat reaches all sides.

  5. 5

    Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high and wipe the grates with a little oil.

  6. 6

    Grill the skewers, turning every 3 min, until browned at the edges and the chicken reaches 74 °C (165 °F) inside, 10-14 min.

  7. 7

    Rest the skewers for 3 min, then serve hot.
