Instructions
- Mix all the ingredients for the marinade and pour over chicken breasts, cut into cubes. Marinate for 2-3 hours in the refrigerator.
- Thread the marinated chicken onto wooden or metal skewers. If you are using the wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes, so they wouldn’t catch fire.
- Grill for 5-7 minutes on each side depending on the size of the chicken pieces. See the body of the post for serving suggestions.
Notes
- This recipe will make 6 large skewers.
- Either boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs can be used. However, thighs will result in juicier and more flavour meat.
- Be careful not to cut the chicken into pieces that are too small. Smaller pieces are more likely to dry out on the grill, and can be harder to keep on a skewer.
