Mediterranean grilled chicken skewers are a fantastic choice for both family dinners and summer BBQs. This recipe provides a flavorful and healthy option that utilizes the robust grilling capabilities of the Weber Q2400. Known for its reliable performance, the Weber Q2400 ensures that each skewer is grilled evenly, resulting in tender and juicy chicken every time. The marinade is the star of this dish, bringing together classic Mediterranean flavors such as oregano, garlic, and lemon juice. These ingredients not only enhance the taste of the chicken but also tenderize it for optimal grilling. Allowing the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes is ideal for infusing it with these wonderful flavors. Once marinated, the chicken is threaded onto skewers with vibrant bell peppers and onions, adding both color and additional layers of flavor. Grilling at a medium-high temperature of 450°F on the Weber Q2400 ensures that the chicken cooks thoroughly without drying out, while the veggies achieve a perfect char. Serve these skewers at your next gathering, and they are sure to be a hit with guests.
