Ingredients
- 8 Chicken Thighs
- 1/2 Cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- 2 Tablespoons Garlic minced
- 1/4 Cup Olive Oil
Chicken Marinade
- 4 Lemons juiced
- 1/4 Cup Parsley chopped
- 1/4 Cup Hot Sauce
- 2 Teaspoons Salt
Instructions
- Start by marinating the chicken. In a bowl, combine the lemon juice, chopped parsley, hot sauce, and salt. Stir well.
- Cut each chicken thigh into 2-3 evenly sized pieces, ensuring they cook uniformly. Add the chicken to the marinade and let it sit for at least 30 minutes. If you have extra time, marinate it for up to 2 hours for even more flavor.
- While the chicken marinates, mix the Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, and olive oil in a small bowl. This creates a thick, flavorful paste that will coat the skewers and crisp up beautifully in the oven. Once marinated, thread the chicken pieces onto skewers. Make sure they are spaced evenly so they cook properly. Generously spread the garlic Parmesan mixture over the skewers, ensuring each piece is well coated. This step locks in moisture and adds incredible flavor.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F. Arrange the skewers on a baking sheet, cover the skewers with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes to allow the chicken to cook through without drying out.
- Remove the foil and switch your oven to broil. Broil the skewers for 5-10 minutes until the tops turn golden brown and crispy. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
