1 ½ pounds Boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut in 1 1/2-inch pieces

¼ cup Olive oil

¼ cup Fresh lemon juice

1 tablespoon Red wine vinegar

4 Garlic cloves, minced

2 teaspoons Dried oregano

1 teaspoon Kosher salt

½ teaspoon Ground black pepper

8 Wooden skewers (8-inch), soaked

to taste Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps

Whisk the olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss with the chicken and marinate 1 to 4 hours in the fridge.
Heat a grill for direct cooking over medium-high. Thread the chicken onto the skewers.
Grill 10 to 12 minutes, turning a few times, until charred at the edges and 165°F inside. Serve with lemon wedges.

Tip: Chicken thighs forgive; breasts do not. Thighs stay juicy even if the grill runs hot.
