Speedy Dinner Garlic Butter Chicken Skewers Delight

You can make garlic butter chicken skewers quickly. Start by cutting 1 pound of chicken thighs into 1-inch pieces. This size helps them cook fast and evenly.

Next, soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes. This stops them from burning on the grill. While they soak, you can prepare the tasty garlic butter marinade.

Melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a bowl. You can use a microwave or stovetop for this. Once melted, add 4 cloves of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, and 1 teaspoon of dried oregano. Season with salt and pepper to your taste. Finally, add 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice for a zesty kick.

Place the chicken pieces in the bowl and toss them well in the marinade. Let the chicken marinate for 10 to 15 minutes. This step makes the chicken juicy and full of flavor.

Now, thread the marinated chicken onto the soaked skewers. Leave some space between each piece. This helps them cook properly on the grill.

Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the skewers for about 10 to 12 minutes. Turn them occasionally. You want the chicken to be well-cooked and have nice grill marks.

Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Serve these skewers with a side of salad or rice for a complete meal. Enjoy your speedy garlic butter chicken skewers!
