Step by Step Method
Step 1
Cut the chicken into 1 1/2 inch strips for skewering.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, cilantro or parsley, minced garlic, paprika, salt, cumin, turmeric and cayenne pepper.
Step 3
Place the chicken pieces in a glass dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken and stir to coat. Cover with plastic wrap. Place in the refrigerator and let the chicken marinate for 30-45 minutes (NO MORE than 45 minutes or the chicken will turn white from the lemon). Meanwhile soak the wooden skewers in water while the chicken is marinating.
Step 4
Generously grease the grill and heat over medium. Skewer the chicken, evenly divided between 6-8 skewers.
Step 5
Place the skewers on the hot grill and cook for 10-15 minutes, turning once during cooking, until cooked through. Serve hot.
