Ingredients
  

For the Marinade

  • ½ Cup Parmesan Cheese (grated) Adds saltiness and texture
  • 2 Tablespoons Garlic (minced) Provides rich flavor
  • ¼ Cup Olive Oil Moisturizes and enhances flavor
  • 4 Count Lemons (juiced) Adds acidity and freshness
  • ¼ Cup Parsley (chopped) Brings color and freshness
  • ¼ Cup Hot Sauce Adds a spicy kick
  • 2 Teaspoons Salt Enhances overall flavor

For the Skewers

  • 8 Pieces Chicken Thighs Tender, juicy source of protein

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, chopped parsley, hot sauce, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
  • Take your chicken thighs and evenly coat them in the marinade. You can use a Ziploc bag or a large bowl.
  • Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Soak wooden skewers in water for about 30 minutes to prevent burning if using wooden skewers.

Cooking

  • Thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers, packed snugly but not overly tight.
  • Preheat your grill or prepare your baking sheet.
  • Cook the skewers on the grill or baking sheet for about 10-15 minutes, until browned and fully cooked.
  • Let the skewers rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider marinating the chicken overnight. If using hot sauce, adjust to taste for milder flavor. Skewers can be brushed with additional marinade or olive oil before cooking.
