Molly Makes Her "Flavor Bomb" Chicken Skewers with Feta and Pickles

This Episode is Sponsored by Harmless Harvest!
On today’s episode of Hit the Kitch, Molly introduces us to a recipe that is hailed by many as a “total flavor bomb”. She’s making her Oregano Chicken Skewers with Cucumber, Pickle, and Feta salad.
Molly starts by marinating boneless skinless chicken thighs in a simple marinade of lemon, garlic, vinegar, and oregano so that the chicken thighs can be, well, a TOTAL FLAVOR BOMB!!! While the chicken marinates, she makes a crunchy pickle-y fresh little salad that’s seasoned with feta and lemon and lots and lots of herbs. Is this the most Molly salad ever??? Probs.
We promise, this recipe is very low-effort and high-reward - the perfect dish to transition us to spring. GET AT IT FOLKS!!

    This was outstanding. The chicken marinade being made up of pantry ingredients (yes, garlic is a pantry ingredient) makes it a great expedient way to get the maximum pop from that pack of chicken thighs you bought without a plan. And the pickle/cucumber/dill/(extra) feta salad? Going in the back pocket for barbecue season.

  • @dantongdoudou

    Molly, I usually do not leave comments. But this is easily one of the best chicken recipes I have tried in my entire life! And yet, it is SO SIMPLE. I used the vegan tofu feta by rainbow plant life (allergic to dairy) but for the rest I followed the recipe to the T (not even modifying the amount of salt, lol). This will be a regular in my house now, especially during the warmer weather! I served it over quinoa (the pan sauce is divine). But I can see this over a smear of yogurt and paired with some pita! Or over orzo or couscous!

    Yeah it almost looks too HD. Kinda like when you watch something filmed in 4k on a 1080 display. I don't think it's lighting either. The way the island counter top is illuminated it almost looks like they didn't use the studio lights for this video and it's just sunlight. All the shadows on the bowls, utensils and Molly herself go to the right. There is no overhead lighting. But I think what you're talking about is the the pixel density during filming vs the pixel density when editing, uploading, and what we're watching on our phones or computers. Just tested it and when I adjusted the settings of the video the highest quality it looked less weird. I still think it's a little of and this was probably shot in 4K but not uploaded in 4K.
