Notes & Tips

  • Soak wooden skewers 30 minutes to prevent burning.
  • Marinate “chicken” longer for more intense herb flavor.
  • Add bell peppers, onions, or cherry tomatoes for colorful, Instagram-ready skewers.
  • Use a grill pan indoors if weather refuses cooperation.
  • Brush lightly with olive oil during grilling for extra crispiness.
