   Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place in refrigerator for at least 3 hours, or overnight..

   Soak: An hour or two before grilling your chicken souvlaki soak your wooden skewers in water. This is important in order to ensure that they don't burn. If you are using metal skewers you can skip this step.

   Skewer: Prepare your souvlaki by skewering between 5 - 7 chicken cubes on each skewer. Discard any of the marinade which remains in the bowl.

   Preheat: Prepare your outdoor grill by oiling your grill surface lightly, and preheating to medium-high heat.
