- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 6 wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
- 1
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 10 minutes to prevent burning.

Add chicken cubes to the marinade, toss to coat, and let marinate for 10 minutes while you preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
- 4
Thread the chicken pieces onto skewers, leaving small gaps between pieces.
- 5
Grill the skewers for 12-15 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes, until the chicken is charred on the edges and cooked through (internal temperature 165°F).

Brush with any remaining marinade during the last few minutes of cooking, then rest for 2 minutes before serving.
