How to Make Lemon Garlic Chicken Kabobs
To make this Easy Lemon Garlic Chicken Recipe, you will start by creating a delicious marinade. Place the chicken in a zip top bag or large bowl and cover with the marinade. Place in the refrigerator and marinade for 2-6 hours.
Preheat the grill to 375ºF and skewer the chicken on wooden skewers that have been soaked in water. This just helps prevent them from burning on the grill. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, until the internal temperature reaches 165ºF or the chicken is no longer pink on the inside.
