Tips

Directions

Step 1

Combine vinegar olive oil lemon juice mint garlic sugar oregano basil salt red pepper flakes and black pepper in a blender. Puree until liquefied about 30 seconds.

Step 2

Place chicken thighs in a large resealable plastic bag pour in marinade and massage to coat. Squeeze out excess air and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 24 hours turning occasionally.

Step 3

Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.

Step 4

Remove chicken and place on the skewers. Season with salt. Pour the marinade into a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook until reduced slightly about 2 minutes.

Step 5

Place skewers on the preheated grill and cook for 5 to 6 minutes turn and cook until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear 5 to 6 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from grill and rest the meat for a few minutes.
