Instructions
- Combine all the ingredients for the marinade in a bowl.

- Thread the marinated chicken onto soaked wooden skewers or metal skewers.

Notes
Soaking the wooden skewers is essential to prevent them from burning on the grill. Feel free to add vegetables like bell peppers, onions, or zucchini between the chicken pieces for added flavor and nutrition.
