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!!

Hey, to the guys/girl doing the production/editing on this show. You're killing it. This was so smooth and easy to follow.
Molly"s face at 11:01 when she ask if we should take a look at the chicken is HILARIOUS. And " it looks nice" with a very high pitch. Hahahahahha. Molly is awesome.
You make food fun, thanks for sharing!
That 90 degree rotation with the bias cut is a clever one for people to figure out after the fact but so easy to do. :)
Every single recipe I try from Molly is out of this world and are fan favorites with the friends I host. We made this for a dinner party and everyone was OBSESSED with the salad. We actually made it again not even a week later, but added pasta to turn it into a cold pasta salad. 10/10
My mom literally can't cook and she made this and it was AMAZING. The salad was so good even without walnuts ( we didn't have any )
I was craving chicken skewers and about to google some recipes but this came up right away on my youtube feed! Making tonight after work. Thanks Molly!
Making this after my next trip for groceries, can't wait
Crayyy-zy good. That salad is beyond. Keeeeeper. ❤️
Molly glowing!!
Awe! I haven’t seen Molly since BA. Great to see her and she is even more stunning than before
It's always wild to me how one person can be this dang creative, so inspiring, thank you for these videos

There is even a script written telling her what to say. Literally just a "talking head" that is recognizable to the idiot consumer.

You’ve never come across my algorithm, Molly, and damn I didn’t know till now what I was missing!!! SO entertaining, phenomenal editing, and obvi a delish as hell looking recipe… I’ll hope to see you again soon! TY!
Can I say how much I love your kitchen and its color choice?
Molly you're so pretty!!! Congrats on the addition to the family ❤
Made this on the grill. It was fantastic.
Made it for Mothers Day. Chicken was incredible, salad was so-so as due to it being very dill forward. Next time would try it with different soft herb.
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.
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!
Microplane sponsorship coming up! I also lost it when you were talking about Microplane and kept saying 'Grate'. ..."It's grate for garlic, grate for zest..." 🤣

looks so good and love the simple ingredients! also i'm obsessed with molly's cucumber pickle salsa from her spiced green meatball recipe and this looks v similarly delish! one legitimate question: what's the benefit of cutting and skewering the thighs vs. just leaving them whole? just a quicker cook?
Hi! If you barbecue or use a grill pan do you just reduce the marinade for sauce ? Tx!

Molly Baz flavor bomb artist. Thx.
Love me some Mollllllyyyyyyy Baaaazzzzzzzzzz!!!!!!
Call the walnuts Wallies.
Molly, sounds like a drool worthy recipe. One question: Does the marinade get hot enough deglazing the pan to kill any contamination from the raw chicken?
Holy shit I can’t believe I have been brought back to Molly…how long has it been
The salad sounds really good. I don't eat meat so I'd need to figure out a way to sub the skewers.
Can't wait to try. Does anyone know what brand of knife she is using?

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.

A little food safety concerned by the pan sauce! That marinade is full of raw chicken juices, turning off the burner as you add it and fully relying on latent heat to finish cooking it off is a little scary. I get that you don't wanna burn your fond, but still.
Molly could burn my food three times a day and I wouldn't say a word. She just screams woman and I respect that.

I wish she would put an extra 30% effort into talking… the lazy rich kid drawl is tough at times.
This is literally not your recipe. But I get it… it’s basic stuff.
…. That’s it? LOL. I was expecting something unique and innovative. Oregano chicken is a pretty common Greek-inspired recipe you can find all over the internet.
