If using wood skewers, soak them in warm water while the chicken marinates and you prepare the vegetables.

Assemble
15
Preheat your grill to 450℉. Once the chicken thighs are marinated, begin assembling the skewers: Start with veggies on the end and alternate ingredients. I wanted to make sure each skewers had a little bit of everything, but stretched the bell peppers to make sure each skewer had a couple. You don’t need to crowd the skewers! You can give them a little room between each ingredient when you’re making them.
16
Brush the extra marinade over each skewer.
17
Grill
18
Place as many skewers on your grill that can comfortably fit without overcrowding them. Grill for ⏱️ 7-8 minutes. Don't wiggle the skewers around! Just place them on the grill and leave them be. Let the chicken and vegetables sear to get those coveted grill marks!
19
Flip kabobs after ⏱️ 7-8 min. You’ll likely end up turning your skewers 2-3 times.
20
Check
21
You’ll know your chicken kabobs are done when a meat thermometer reads 165℉ when inserted into the thickest part of the chicken thighs. Serve with lemon wedges and enjoy!
