Method
- In a large bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic, and oregano.
- Add the chicken thighs and mix thoroughly. Cover and marinate in refrigerator for 1 hour. While the chicken marinates, soak four 10-inch wooden skewers in water.
- Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers.
- Set the Grillinator to medium and preheat until the green Ready light turns on, about 4 minutes.
- Open the lid and place the skewers on the grill, parallel to the grates. Close the lid.
- Cook until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of at least 165°F and is charred on the outside, 12 to 15 minutes.
- Carefully transfer skewers to a plate or platter.
- Serve the chicken on skewers with pita, tzatziki, and all your favorite toppings.
