Cut 1 kg of boneless skinless chicken thighs into roughly 25 mm cubes using a sharp knife.

Place the diced chicken into a non-reactive bowl.

Add 2 tablespoons of oil, 4 cloves of crushed garlic, the zest of 1 lemon, 2 teaspoons of black pepper, 2 teaspoons of charred bell pepper, 2 teaspoons of hot sauce, and 1 teaspoon of dried spices to the bowl.

Whisk the mixture with a clockwise motion until combined.

Mix the chicken with the marinade until well coated and cover the bowl.

Refrigerate the marinated chicken for about 1 hour.

Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 1 hour before using.

Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the soaked skewers, ensuring they are roughly the same size for even cooking.

Prepare the grill (Weber Go Anywhere) by lighting lump charcoal in a chimney starter and spreading it evenly in the grill.

Spray the grill grates with cooking oil to create a non-stick surface.

Place the skewers on the grill and turn them after about 1 minute.

Continue grilling the skewers, turning them until the internal temperature reaches 80°C for tender chicken.

Remove the skewers from the grill and place them on a platter.
