📝 Preparation Steps
1
If you're using bamboo skewers rather than metal, place eight of them in a 9-by-13-inch baking pan, cover with water, and soak for at least ⏱️ 30 minutes.
2
Make the marinade: Mix all the marinade ingredients together in a large bowl. Add the chicken, toss together until coated, and set aside to marinate for ⏱️ 1 hour at room temperature, or up to overnight in the refrigerator. (Remove from the refrigerator at least ⏱️ 30 minutes prior to cooking.)
3
Preheat the broiler to high. Set the rack 3 inches from the heat source.
4
Thread the chicken pieces onto the soaked skewers in a wavy pattern, piercing each piece multiple times to secure it on the stick. Do not press the pieces closely together but allow space between them so they cook thoroughly. Place the skewers on a broiling pan and broil until they are golden and opaque on one side, about ⏱️ 4 minutes. Turn and broil the other side until golden, 4 to ⏱️ 5 minutes. The chicken should be thoroughly cooked but not dry; to test, cut into one of the chicken pieces. If the chicken is still slightly pink, continue cooking another minute or two. Remove from the oven when done and set aside. (If using a grill, when the grill is hot, cook the skewers for about ⏱️ 4 minutes per side.)
5
Serve the chicken either on or off the skewers, arranged on a platter, and scattered with cilantro sprigs and lime wedges.
lime wedges (optional)
