Pour in the vinegar, then the oil. Now either lid the jar and shake well or stir the marinade bowl well. Store over night and give another good shake in the morning. Preheat your grill on the hottest setting for 10 minutes to warm up. Now thread a bay leaf on each skewer followed by a lemon slice. Then alternate the chicken and bell pepper, followed by the onion, and finished with a finely cut sliver of garlic. Place skewers 4 inches from heat, season with salt and pepper.
