### How to Make Cowboy Butter Chicken Skewers
#### 1. **Prepare the Marinade**
In a bowl, combine melted butter, garlic, smoked paprika, chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Mix well.
#### 2. **Marinate the Chicken**
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, tossing to coat thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.
#### 3. **Preheat the Grill**
Heat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
#### 4. **Skewer the Chicken**
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, leaving a little space between pieces for even cooking.
#### 5. **Grill to Perfection**
Place skewers on the grill and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and slightly charred on the edges.
#### 6. **Serve**
Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro and serve hot. These skewers pair wonderfully with grilled vegetables, corn on the cob, or a fresh green salad.
