Smart Tips
-
Marinating Time: For more flavor, allow the chicken to marinate longer. Overnight marination will intensify the taste.
-
Grilling Tips: Keep an eye on the skewers to ensure they cook evenly and don’t burn. Brush them with some of the leftover marinade while grilling for added moisture and flavor.
-
Serving Suggestions: Serve with a side of steamed rice, grilled vegetables, or a fresh salad.
-
Variations: Try using different proteins like beef or tofu for variation.
-
Dipping Sauces: Accompany the skewers with dipping sauces such as sweet chili sauce, teriyaki, or a sesame-ginger sauce for extra flavor.
