Ingredients

• 3.5 lbs Boneless Chicken Thighs
• 0.5 cup Olive Oil
• 0.5 cup White Wine
• 2 tablespoons Fresh Lemon Juice
• 1 teaspoon Chicken Bouillon
• 0.5 teaspoon Black Pepper
• 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
• 3.5 lbs Boneless Chicken Thighs
• 1 cup Panko Crumbs
• 0.5 cup Bread Crumbs
• 1 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
• 1.5 tablespoons Garlic Powder
• 1 tablespoon Oregano
• 2 teaspoons Red Pepper Flakes
• 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
• 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
• 2.5 cups Breading Mixture
• 1 stick Salted Butter
• 3 tablespoons Fresh Lemon Juice
• 0.5 cup Lemon Butter Sauce

Instructions

1. Using a sharp knife, cut 3-4 lbs of boneless chicken thighs into 1-inch cubes.
2. In a large bowl, combine 1/2 cup olive oil, 1/2 cup white wine, 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Stir well.
3. Add the cubed chicken to the marinade, stir to coat evenly, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
4. In another bowl, mix 1 cup panko crumbs, 1/2 cup bread crumbs, 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 1/2 tablespoons garlic powder, 1 tablespoon oregano, 2 teaspoons red pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 teaspoon kosher salt.
5. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Clean the grill grate and oil it well to prevent sticking.
6. Remove chicken from the marinade using tongs. Dredge the chicken pieces in the breadcrumb mixture until evenly coated.
7. Thread the breaded chicken cubes onto skewers, ensuring no gaps between pieces.
8. Place the chicken skewers on the grill. Cook for approximately 5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 4 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
9. While the chicken cooks, prepare the lemon butter sauce by microwaving 1 stick of salted butter in a bowl until melted, about 45 seconds. Stir in 3 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice.
10. Remove the skewers from the grill and immediately brush them with the prepared lemon butter sauce.
