Instructions

1
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes so they don't scorch on the grill.
2
In a large bowl, whisk together the 3 tbsp olive oil, 3 tbsp lemon juice, 3 cloves minced garlic, oregano, cumin, smoked paprika, 1 tsp kosher salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken pieces and toss until evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
