Notes
- You can use metal or wooden skewers. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about an hour before grilling to keep them from burning in the grill.
- Be sure to cook the chicken all the way through. The outside should be slightly charred and have a uniformed white color inside. If you have an instant read thermometer they should register at 165F.
