Special Precautions and Tips:

• Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
• If you don't have wooden skewers, you can also use metal skewers. However, be sure to soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before using to prevent them from burning.
• You can also grill these skewers instead of baking them. Just preheat your grill to medium-high heat and cook the skewers for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
