Notes
- Store the chicken kabob leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days.
- Feel free to use maple syrup in place of the honey.
- Be sure to soak the bamboo skewers in water before threading with the chicken.
- Make sure to use a meat thermometer to make sure the chicken is cooked all the way through.
- Be careful not to leave this chicken in the marinade too long or the texture of the chicken will off.
