About Chicken thigh skewers

Chicken thigh skewers are a flavorful and versatile dish often found in Middle Eastern, Asian, and Mediterranean cuisines. Tender pieces of chicken thigh are marinated in a blend of spices, herbs, and aromatics—commonly including garlic, paprika, soy sauce, or yogurt—before being threaded onto skewers and grilled or baked to perfection. Known for their juicy texture, chicken thighs provide a rich, succulent taste thanks to their slightly higher fat content compared to leaner cuts like breast meat. While this fattiness adds moisture and flavor, it also contributes to a higher calorie count, though they remain an excellent source of protein to support muscle repair and growth. Typically served with grilled vegetables, rice, or salad, these skewers can be customized to suit various dietary preferences. To enhance their nutritional profile, pair them with wholesome sides or opt for lighter marinades low in sodium and sugar.
