  • 2 tbsp brown sugar

  2. Marinate the Chicken: Cut chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and coat well with the marinade. Let sit for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Prepare Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes to prevent burning.
  4. Skewer the Chicken: Thread marinated chicken pieces onto skewers, leaving space between each piece.
  5. Cook: Grill over medium heat for about 10-12 minutes until cooked through and slightly charred or bake under a broiler for about 8-10 minutes.
