Notes

Wooden Skewers: soak them in water for 30 minutes before threading on the chicken. This prevents the skewers from burning and splintering.
Marinade Time: minimum of 30 minutes in the fridge or up to overnight.
Leftover and Reheat Instructions: Place leftover cooked chicken in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or remove chicken from skewers and heat in a 350 F oven for 10 minutes or until warmed through.
