How to make Grilled Chicken Kebabs?
As with any meat dish, marinating is the most crucial part of this recipe since it brings flavor to the dish. The longer you marinate a meat dish, the more flavorful it becomes. The minimum time needed to marinade these kebabs is one hour. Whisk together your ingredients for the marinade, then put in your chicken and veggies into the marinade. Let it soak for a minimum of an hour.
Thread the marinated chicken and vegetables onto your skewers.
Then cook for 5-7 minutes on each side or until the chicken is cooked through. If you use wooden skewers on an outdoor grill, ensure you soak your wood skewers in cold water for at least 20 minutes to keep them from burning.
