FAQs

1. Can I use other meats instead of chicken?
Yes! You can use shrimp, pork, or even tofu as a substitute.

2. Can I bake the skewers instead of grilling?
Absolutely! Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake the skewers for about 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through.

3. What can I do with leftover marinade?
It’s best not to reuse marinade after it has come into contact with raw chicken. However, you can make a fresh batch to use as a dipping sauce. Just make sure to heat it to kill any bacteria.
