Instructions

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, and lime juice. Season generously with chili powder, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Place the chicken in a shallow dish and pour the sauce over it, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover the dish and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to infuse the chicken with flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat to achieve those perfect grill marks. Carefully thread the marinated chicken onto skewers, ensuring they are secure. Discard any remaining marinade to prevent flare-ups during grilling.
Lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking. Grill the chicken skewers for approximately 10 to 15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear, indicating doneness.
