These Oven Baked Chicken Skewers bring the flavours of a summer BBQ to your kitchen any time of year. Marinated in a simple blend of lemon, garlic and mustard, these juicy chicken kebabs are sure to be a hit with the whole family.
Equipment
- 6 skewers metal or wood
Ingredients
- 1 kg skinless boneless chicken thighs
For the Marinade:
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 2 garlic cloves crushed
- 1 tbsp mustard
- 1 tbsp Herbes de Provence or 3 tbsp chopped fresh herbs
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 3 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Start by mixing together the marinade ingredients.
- Cut each chicken thigh into 4 pieces and add them to the marinade. Leave to marinate in the fridge for at least 30 mins and up to 6 hours.
- Soak wooden skewers, if using.
- About 15 mins before you're ready to cook the chicken skewers, preheat the oven to 200°C fan.
- Thread each piece of chicken onto the skewers. I usually make 6 skewers with this amount of meat, which is a large adult portion.
- Place the chicken skewers in an oven dish and bake for 25-30 mins or until cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken should be 74°C.
Notes
To know if the chicken is thoroughly cooked, I like to use an internal thermometer to check the internal temperature - it should read 74°C in the thickest part of the meat. If you don't have a thermometer, check that the juices are running clear.
