Kycklingspett typically features a balance of savory, slightly sweet, and sometimes spicy flavors, depending on the marinade used. The grilled chicken provides a smoky base, while the marinade infuses it with layers of taste.
The core ingredient is, of course, chicken, usually chicken breast or thigh meat cut into bite-sized pieces. Common marinade ingredients include olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, paprika (sweet or smoked), oregano, thyme, salt, pepper, and sometimes a touch of honey or brown sugar for sweetness. Some variations may include yogurt for tenderizing the chicken or chili flakes for a spicy kick. The grilling process imparts a smoky flavor that complements the marinade. Common accompaniments include dips like aioli, tzatziki, or a simple yogurt-based sauce.

Marinating Time
Marinate the chicken for at least 2 hours, or ideally overnight, to allow the flavors to fully penetrate the meat. The longer the marination, the more flavorful the skewers will be.
Even Cooking
Cut the chicken into evenly sized pieces to ensure consistent cooking on the grill. This prevents some pieces from being overcooked while others are undercooked.
Prevent Sticking
Lightly oil the grill grates before grilling the skewers to prevent the chicken from sticking. You can also soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before use to prevent them from burning.
Internal Temperature
Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption. Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature at the thickest part of the chicken.
