Ingredients

• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 2 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried tarragon
• 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1 white onion, diced
• 1 teaspoon ground thyme
• 1 tablespoon sea salt
• 6 wooden skewers
• 2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
• 0.25 cup dry white wine
• 0.25 cup rice vinegar
• 0.5 cup olive oil
• 0.25 cup fresh lemon juice

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine olive oil, wine, lemon juice, vinegar, salt, black pepper, thyme, oregano, tarragon, red pepper flakes, and cayenne pepper in a large bowl until well combined. Mix in onion and garlic. Add chicken cubes; stir to coat thoroughly.

Step 2

Pour chicken mixture into a resealable freezer bag, squeeze to remove excess air, and seal the bag. Wrap the bag in a paper towel and slide it into another resealable bag, so the zippers are at opposite ends. Refrigerate, flipping over every 12 hours, for 2 to 3 days.

Step 3

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes.

Step 4

Thread chicken cubes through the skewers. Discard marinade.

Step 5

Cook chicken skewers on the preheated grill, flipping halfway, until meat is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 8 to 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of meat should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
