• For extra flavor, you can add herbs like chopped fresh parsley or cilantro to the marinade.
• If grilling, preheat the grill to medium-high heat to ensure even cooking and a nice char on the chicken kebabs.

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 10-15 minutes, or until heated through.
