- Grill the skewers for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown on all sides.
- Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
- Optional: for a more colourful and flavourful dish, you can add sliced onions, bell peppers, or other vegetables to the skewers (basically, you can add any vegetable you desire) You can also brush the skewers with the marinade during cooking for an extra burst of flavour.
Notes
- Soaking the wooden skewers in water before grilling will prevent them from burning.
- You can also use metal skewers if you prefer.
- If you're short on time, you can marinate the chicken and vegetables in the spice mixture for at least 30 minutes before grilling.
- Feel free to add other vegetables to the skewers, such as mushrooms or zucchini, for extra flavour and nutrition.
