Special Precautions and Tips:
- To ensure the chicken is cooked through, use a kitchen thermometer to measure the internal temperature, which should be 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- If you don't have metal skewers, you can use bamboo skewers and soak them in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from burning.
- You can adjust the amount of kebab spice to your taste, depending on your preferred level of spiciness.
