Notes
- Chicken: Using boneless, skinless chicken breasts ensures quick cooking and easy eating. Thighs can be used for more moisture and flavor but may require slightly longer grilling.
- Skewer Tips: If using wooden skewers, soaking them in water prevents burning. Metal skewers are a reusable alternative that conducts heat, potentially speeding up the cooking process.
- Grill: Keeping the grill at a medium-high heat allows for a good sear on the outside of the chicken while cooking it through without burning. Turn the kabobs regularly for even cooking.
