- 2 lbs Chicken thighs or chicken breasts deboned, skin removed

- 1 Onion small
- 2 Lemons
- 1/2 Cup 7-Up soda
- 1 Tsp Ground black pepper
- 5 Tbs Dark Brown sugar
- 1 Cup Ketchup

In a large bowl combine soy sauce, garlic, onion, juice of 2 lemons, 7-UP, ground black pepper, dark brown sugar and ketchup.

Preparing Kebabs
Debone the chicken thighs and remove the skin. Cut the thighs into 2-inch squares. Take your chicken pieces and place in a suitable container or ziplock bag.
Pour prepared marinade over cubed chicken and move around, coating well
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, up to 24 hours. The longer you marinade, the more the marinade flavor will saturate the chicken thighs
Grilling Chicken Kebabs
30 minutes to one hour soak wooden skewers in water
Thread the cubed chicken onto the wooden skewers, packing tightly
Light your grill and when the grill is hot, place skewers over medium high heat
Grill on one side until it is seared to your preference. Turn and cook the other side
Cook to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. If your chicken has not reached temperature but has your preference of sear, move to indirect heat until done
Remove from heat and allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving
