Notes From My Kitchen
- For the best flavor, marinate the chicken overnight. The longer it marinates, the more flavorful it will be.
- If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
- Don’t overcook the chicken – it should be firm but still juicy when done.
