Cooking Tips

• Soak wooden skewers in water for about 30 minutes before using to prevent them from burning on the grill.
• If using metal skewers, make sure to handle them with oven mitts or tongs as they can get very hot.
• You can also cook the chicken kebabs in the oven by placing them on a baking sheet and broiling them for about 10-12 minutes, turning halfway through.
• Feel free to customize the marinade by adding your favorite herbs and spices, such as oregano, thyme, or chili powder.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover chicken kebabs can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat, place the kebabs in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until heated through.
• Serve the chicken kebabs as a main dish with a side of rice or couscous, or use them to make delicious wraps or sandwiches.
