NOTES
1. How do I know the chicken is fully cooked? Use a meat thermometer (165 °F / 75 °C) or slice one piece – juices should run clear.
2. Can I marinate the chicken longer? Yes, from 30 minutes up to 24 hours in the fridge. The longer, the better the flavor.
3. Can I use different meat? Yes, pork tenderloin or turkey works great—just increase marinating time by 1 hour.
4. Storage
- Raw skewers: Store up to 2 days refrigerated.
- Grilled skewers: Store in an airtight container in the fridge up to 3 days.
