🔪 Instructions

1. Marinate the Chicken

• In a large bowl, combine all marinade ingredients.
• Add chicken cubes and mix until evenly coated.
• Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (overnight gives best flavor).

2. Prepare Skewers

• If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
• Thread chicken and vegetables alternately onto skewers.

3. Cooking Options

👉 Grill:

• Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
• Brush lightly with oil.
• Cook skewers for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and cooked through.

👉 Oven:

• Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F).
• Place skewers on a baking tray lined with foil.
• Bake for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until chicken is cooked and slightly charred.
• Optionally broil for 2–3 minutes for extra color.

👉 Stovetop:

• Heat 1 tbsp oil in a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat.
• Cook kebabs for 10–12 minutes, turning every few minutes until fully cooked.
