Notes
- Marinating the chicken - It will help to keep the chicken moist during grilling. Also, it helps to enhance the flavor. Marinate the chicken for 2 hours. Keep it covered in the refrigerator.
- The marinade makes the chicken juicy and tender after it is cooked. You will not end up having dry chicken. Also, it helps to enhance the flavor.
- Soak the wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes. It prevents the wooden sticks from burning while cooking.
- Grill the chicken skewers in a medium-hot pan. When we place the chicken skewers on a medium-hot pan, it will seal the surface of the chicken and locks the juices inside it. Making it moist and juicy inside.
