Cooking Tips

• If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes before threading the chicken to prevent them from burning on the grill.
• Feel free to adjust the spiciness of the picante salsa by adding more or less jalapenos.
• For extra flavor, squeeze some fresh lime juice over the chicken skewers before serving.
