Step 1
Cut chicken into 1.5-inch cubes. Mince garlic and whisk together with lemon juice, zest, oregano, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Step 2
Toss chicken with marinade, coating thoroughly. Let sit at room temperature while you heat the grill or grill pan.
Step 3
Thread chicken onto metal or wooden skewers (soak wood 15 minutes first), leaving small gaps between pieces.
Step 4
Heat grill or grill pan to medium-high. Once you see smoke rising, place skewers across the grates.
Step 5
Grill 10–12 minutes, turning every 3 minutes, until chicken edges are charred and centers reach 165°F when probed.
Step 6
Transfer skewers to a plate and rest 2 minutes. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
