- 2 tbsp garlic-infused oil
- 1.5 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1.5-inch pieces
For the spice rub
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp sweet paprika
- 1 tsp dried oregano

For serving
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped (optional)

If using wooden skewers, soak them in cold water for at least 30 minutes so they don't char on the grill.
