Instructions
 

  • Combine all of the ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Let marinate for at least an hour or up to one day. If marinating for longer than an hour, keep in the refrigerator and let come to room temperature before cooking.
  • While the chicken marinates, soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes. Skewer the chicken, using 6 pieces per skewer. You may need to fold larger pieces of chicken and skewer both ends of them so that they’re not hanging off the skewer. If you’d like to wrap the open ends of the skewers in foil, you can do so, but it’s not always necessary.
  • If using a grill: Preheat the grill on medium-high heat. Once hot, place the chicken skewers on the front edge of the grill with the open wooden parts hanging off the front side. Close the grill (it won’t close all the way because the skewers will be in the way) and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, until fully cooked. Serve immediately while still hot.
  • If using a grill pan: Preheat your oven to 400°F. Heat your grill pan over medium-high heat and spray the pan with non-stick spray. When hot, add your skewers to the pan, with the wooden ends hanging off the side. Cook for 5 minutes per side, and then stick the entire grill pan into the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until fully cooked. Serve immediately while still hot.

Notes

Storage: After cooking, the chicken can be kept in the fridge for up to 3 days, no longer. You can take them off the skewers or keep them on the skewers, your choice! Reheat in your oven, 400°F on convection bake, microwave, air fryer, or toaster oven, until warmed through.
