Preparation

  2. Add the chicken chunks to the marinade and let it sit for at least 30 minutes or prepare it the night before.
Grilling
  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, ensuring they are spaced out for even cooking.
  3. Grill the skewers for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and has grill marks. The internal temperature should reach 165°F.
  4. Remove from grill and serve warm.
