Step 1
Cut chicken thighs into 1.5-inch cubes. Thread onto metal or soaked wooden skewers, leaving a small gap between pieces.
Step 2
Whisk olive oil, cumin, paprika, cinnamon, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl until smooth.
Step 3
Brush the spice mixture generously over all sides of the chicken skewers.
Step 4
Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high until a drop of water sizzles on contact.
Step 5
Grill skewers 3–4 minutes per side without moving, until chicken is cooked through and edges are charred.
Step 6
Remove from heat and rest 2 minutes. Serve hot with lemon wedges and fresh herbs if desired.
