Method

1
Measure the lemon juice, lemon zest, oil, honey, and mustard into a bowl. Add the flat-leaf parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth.
2
Cut the chicken thighs into 2–3 pieces depending on their size and submerge the pieces in the marinade. Toss so that the marinade coats the chicken pieces evenly. Leave in the refrigerator to marinate overnight or for at least half an hour.
3
Take the chicken out of the refrigerator 15 minutes before grilling. Thread the pieces onto skewers (4–5 pieces per skewer), leaving a little space between the pieces so that they cook evenly.
4
Grill the skewers, turning occasionally, starting on the hottest part of the grill. Once the chicken has developed a good color, move the skewers to a cooler part of the grill and continue cooking until the chicken is cooked through. The cooking time depends on the grill, as well as the grill and ambient temperatures. The chicken is cooked through (internal temperature 75 °C) when it feels firm to the touch. You can also make a cut in the chicken to check that it is completely white inside and the juices run clear.
