Juicy Chicken Skewers with Citrus-Butter Marinade

Prepare the Marinade – In a bowl, combine orange juice, minced garlic, minced parsley, 2 tbsp melted butter, oil, paprika, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Stir well to combine.

Marinate the Chicken – Place the chicken cubes in the marinade, tossing to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours) to let the flavors infuse the chicken.

Preheat Grill or Skillet – Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat and brush with a bit of oil to prevent sticking.

Skewer the Chicken – Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers. If you’re using wooden skewers, be sure to soak them in water for about 30 minutes to prevent burning.

Grill the Skewers – Grill the chicken skewers for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Baste with Butter – During the grilling process, brush the chicken with the remaining melted butter for extra flavor and juiciness.

Serve – Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce or a side of veggies.
