Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, high-quality ingredients.
  • Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate.
  • If you don't have wooden skewers, you can use metal skewers or even toothpicks.
  • Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before using to prevent them from burning.
  • Grill the chicken over medium-high heat to prevent it from drying out.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through, but not overcooked. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
  • Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
  • Serve the chicken with the mint-feta sauce, pita bread, and your favorite sides.
