Special Precautions and Tips:

• Ensure the chicken is cooked through by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
• Soak the skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before threading the chicken. This prevents them from burning in the oven.
• Serve with your choice of dipping sauce, such as tzatziki or hummus.
