   Add the cubed chicken breast to the marinade, tossing to ensure all pieces are thoroughly coated.

3. 3

   Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and tenderize the chicken.

   Aşçının notu: Marinating longer will result in more flavorful and tender chicken.

4. 4

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

5. 5

   Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 200°C / 400°F) or preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

6. 6

   Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, leaving a small space between each piece to ensure even cooking.

   Yaklaşık 5 dk.

   Aşçının notu: Do not overcrowd the skewers.

   Grill the skewers for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and lightly charred on all sides.
