FAQ:

Can I use frozen chicken for these kebabs?
It’s best to use fresh or thawed chicken for these kebabs, as frozen chicken may release excess moisture when grilling, affecting the texture and flavor.

Can I make the marinade ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the marinade up to 2 days in advance. Just store it in the refrigerator and use it to marinate the chicken when ready to grill.

Can I cook these kebabs in the oven?
Yes, if you don’t have access to a grill, you can bake the kebabs in the oven. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake the kebabs on a baking sheet for 20-25 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through.

Can I make these kebabs with other types of meat?
Yes, you can substitute the chicken with pork, beef, or even shrimp. Just adjust the cooking times accordingly based on the protein used.
