Note
Ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165&# 194;°F (74ðC) before serving.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes prior to grilling to prevent burning.
Leftover kebabs can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently to avoid drying out the chicken.
For a variation, substitute chicken thighs for breasts for a richer flavor and more moisture.
