Instructions
Prepare the chicken

- Mix well until all the chicken pieces are evenly coated.
- Cover and let the chicken marinate for at least 1 hour at room temperature
Skewer and Bake The Chicken
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit, 220 degrees Celsius
- Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers, and place them on the prepared baking tray.
- Bake the skewers for 20 minutes, turn after 10 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked and lightly charred.
Garlic Butter Mixture
- In a small pan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and cook for 2–3 minutes until fragrant (do not brown).
- Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice, chopped parsley, and honey. Set aside.
Serve and Enjoy!
- Once cooked, remove the skewers from the tray and brush with garlic butter mixture.
- Serve hot, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
