If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.

Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Grill the skewers for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and lightly charred. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
