About Chicken thigh skewer

Chicken thigh skewers are a popular dish originating from various culinary traditions, such as Japanese yakitori or Mediterranean kabobs. Typically made by marinating boneless, skinless chicken thighs in a blend of seasonings or sauces like soy, garlic, lemon juice, or herbs, the meat is then threaded onto skewers and grilled or roasted until tender and flavorful. Compared to chicken breasts, thighs are juicier and richer due to their higher fat content, which adds flavor but increases calorie count. They are an excellent source of protein, essential for muscle repair and energy, while also providing key vitamins and minerals like B vitamins, zinc, and iron. Opting for skinless thighs and cooking them without excessive oil or sugary marinades can make the dish healthier. Served with vegetables, these skewers can easily fit into balanced, nutrient-packed meals perfect for lunch or dinner.
