- Assemble the Skewers: Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece.
- Grill the Skewers: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the skewers for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
