Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons salt
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 5 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons dried basil
• 2 teaspoons dried oregano
• 1 tablespoon garlic salt
• 2 cups olive oil
• 1 cup white vinegar
• wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
• 1 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper
• 3 tablespoons crushed dried mint
• 4 pounds chicken, cubed

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Whisk oil, vinegar, garlic, lemon juice, garlic salt, mint, salt, basil, oregano, and pepper together in a bowl; pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add chicken, coat with marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 1 to 3 days, shaking to redistribute chicken every 6 to 8 hours.

Step 2

When ready to cook, preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. When you are ready to cook, remove meat from the marinade and place on skewers.

Step 3

Remove chicken from marinade, shake off excess, and thread onto skewers. Discard remaining marinade.

Step 4

Cook skewers on the preheated grill, turning every 3 minutes, until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
