Step 1
Pat chicken dry, then toss with paprika, cumin, ginger, cayenne, lemon juice, olive oil, and a big pinch of salt.
Step 2
Thread chicken pieces onto skewers, leaving a tiny gap between each piece so heat circulates evenly.
Step 3
Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high until it shimmers. Let it get very hot, about 2 minutes.
Step 4
Sear skewers 3–4 minutes per side without moving until chicken is charred and cooked through (internal temp 165°F).
Step 5
Rest on a plate for 2 minutes, then serve hot with lemon wedges and flatbread or over rice.
Tools you’ll need
- metal or wooden skewers (soak wooden 30 min before grilling)
